Why Does Vitamin D Matter? By: Wu-Wong, J. Ruth. Series: Vitamin D and Your Body. [Dubai, United Arab Emirates] : Bentham Science Publishers. 2012.
New tests and studies continue to reveal exciting information about the power of vitamin D in maintaining good health and preventing major illnesses. Why Does Vitamin D Matter? not only covers vitamin D basics, but also explores the science of the vitamin D receptor (VDR), the protein that binds to the active metabolite of vitamin D to fulfill biochemical functions, it explains how vitamin D analogs that directly activate the VDR. Readers will find this e-book informative, not only from the scientific point of view, but also from the potential applications of the knowledge into one's daily life. Starting with a brief history of vitamin D and VDR research, followed by a detailed scientific report of how vitamin D and VDR work, this e-book then goes on to cover epidemiological studies that investigate the outcome of vitamin D deficiency and the effects of vitamin D supplementation. Issues related to vitamin D supplementation are also addressed from different angles.
