Vitamin D is mostly recognized for its regulation of calcium homeostasis in relation to the
intestine, kidney, and bone. Although clinical studies have linked vitamin D with increased …

Sarcopenia, the age-dependent decline of muscle mass and performance, is a common
condition among elderly population and is related to numerous adverse health outcomes …

Muscle weakness has been recognized as a hallmark feature of vitamin D deficiency for
many years. Until recently, the direct biomolecular effects of vitamin D on skeletal muscle …

Fat infiltration within muscle is one of a number of features of vitamin D deficiency, which
leads to a decline in muscle functionality. The origin of this fat is unclear, but one possibility …

Current studies have shown that sarcopenia and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)
have similar pathophysiological profiles. The cooccurrence of sarcopenia and NAFLD has …

Sarcopenia, the age-related loss of skeletal muscle mass, is characterized by a deterioration
of muscle quantity and quality leading to a gradual slowing of movement, a decline in …

Many studies in different biological systems have revealed that 1α, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3
(1α, 25 (OH) 2D3) modulates signaling pathways triggered at the plasma membrane by …

An adequate vitamin D status is essential to optimize muscle strength. However, whether
vitamin D directly reduces muscle fiber atrophy or stimulates muscle fiber hypertrophy …

The evolutionarily conserved signaling pathway Notch is unequivocally essential for
embryogenesis. Notch's contribution to the muscle repair process in adult tissue is complex …
