Vitamin D deficiency is a worldwide problem linked to numerous
diseases affecting men, women, and children of all ages. Enormous
progress in the study of vitamin D has been made since the first
edition of this highly-acclaimed book was published nearly 20 years
ago, and current research continues to draw headlines. Feldman and
Pike’s Vitamin D, Fifth Edition continues to build on the
successful formula from previous editions, taking the reader from
the basic elements of fundamental research to the most
sophisticated concepts in therapeutics. The two comprehensive
volumes provide investigators, clinicians, and students with a
comprehensive, definitive, and up-to-date compendium of the diverse
scientific and clinical aspects of vitamin D, where each area is
covered by both basic and clinical experts in the field. In Volume
I: Biochemistry, Physiology and Diagnostics, international experts
in endocrinology, bone biology, and human physiology take readers
through the basic research of vitamin D. This impressive reference
presents a comprehensive review of the multi-faceted actions of
vitamin D relating both to skeletal and extra-skeletal action.
Researchers from all areas of vitamin D will gain insight into how
clinical observations and practices can feed back into the research
cycle and will, therefore, be able to develop more targeted
genomic, proteomic and metabolomic insights into the mechanisms of
disease. Volume II: Health, Disease and Therapy authoritatively
covers the evidence for new roles of vitamin D, ranging from organ
transplantation to cancer, diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease,
multiple sclerosis, and renal disease. The coverage is
appropriately broad, drawing on aspects of internal medicine,
pediatrics, nutrition, orthopedics, oncology, neurology, obstetrics
and gynecology, and immunology, as well as, new areas for vitamin D
including liver metabolism, veterinary medicine and ICU care –
including COVID-19. Clinical researchers will gain a strong
understanding of the molecular basis for a particular disease and
better understand future directions for research in this
still-growing field.
