Abstract EN
Vitamin D is well known for its effects on bone metabolism, calcium and phosphorus homeostasis.
Recently, a worldwide focus has been made on the extraskeletal effects of this liposoluble vitamin.
The New York Times even called it the “wonder drug”.
Vitamin D is a liposoluble vitamin and acts via an intracellular receptor.
This article reviews the extraskeletal effects of vitamin D focusing on cardiovascular effects, regulation of glucose, antitumoral properties, and effect on the immune system and the skeletal muscle and attempts to offer possible molecular explanations to these effects.
