Excerpt

It is 100 years since Mellanby first hypothesised that a fat soluble antirachitic factor cured rickets in puppies [1] and, in this edition of Calcified Tissue International, the effects of this steroid nutrient/pro-hormone, later named vitamin D, on many systems of the body are reviewed. Vitamin D is important in calcium homeostasis and deficiency states are associated with rickets, osteomalacia and myopathy, while other effects (some contested) on immunomodulation and non-musculoskeletal organ function are also considered. …
