In this narrative review, first, we present a current view on the pathomechanism of ischemic stroke, and pivotal biochemical mechanisms of ischemic neuronal injury, and then we outline the genomic and non-genomic effects of vitamin D3 which may interfere with ischemia-triggered death signaling ...
This scoping review aims to clarify the interplay between obesity, vitamin D deficiency, cellular senescence, and obesity-related metabolic consequences, mainly subclinical atherosclerosis, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Obesity is a significant global health problem that involves cellular,...
Consumption of UV-irradiated mushrooms has been shown to increase serum 25(OH)D levels, particularly in consumers with a low vitamin D status (<50 nmol/L) [14,15]. There was little effect when the vitamin D status was high as the rise in 25(OH)D2 was offset by a fall in serum ...
