Description
The Impact of Vitamin D on Health and Disease: Beyond the Bones is a complete resource which consolidates recent advances in basic sciences related to Vitamin D, providing a synthesized and up-to-date overview of molecular mechanisms, genetics, epigenetics, and microbiome interactions. The book enhances the understanding of not only the clinical implications of Vitamin D but also provides practical guidance for optimizing patient care in diverse health contexts to improve decision making, personalize patient care and preventive health measures. It is a reader-friendly guide that recognizes Vitamin D and its role in reproductive physiology, bridging the gap between research and clinical applications, offering insights into the practical implications of Vitamin D deficiency on metabolic conditions and fertility outcomes. This is a practical guide to provide a roadmap for scientists to contribute to the evolving field of Vitamin D research to inform and inspire further research studies.
