A Potential Linking between Vitamin D and Adipose Metabolic Disorders

الملخص EN

Vitamin D has been discovered centuries ago, and current studies have focused on the biological effects of vitamin D on adipogenesis.

Besides its role in calcium homeostasis and energy metabolism, vitamin D is also involved in the regulation of development and process of metabolic disorders.

Adipose tissue is a major storage depot of vitamin D.

This review summarized studies on the relationship between vitamin D and adipogenesis and furthermore focuses on adipose metabolic disorders.

We reviewed the biological roles and functionalities of vitamin D, the correlation between vitamin D and adipose tissue, the effect of vitamin D on adipogenesis, and adipose metabolic diseases.

Vitamin D is associated with adipogenesis, and vitamin D supplements can reduce the burden caused by metabolic diseases.

The review provides new insights and basis for medical therapy on adipose metabolic diseases.
