Abstract

Vitamin D is a steroid pro-hormone, with effects that are not limited to the metabolism of calcium and phosphorus, but are pleiotropic and involve cellular differentiation, the immune response, intermediate metabolism and the cardiovascular system. This fat-soluble vitamin plays a significant role in musculoskeletal homeostasis and its deficiency or mal-regulatory function leads to several bone metabolic disorders.
