Abstract

This special issue article will focus on morphologic and functional roles of vitamin D in muscle, from strength to contraction to development and ageing and will characterise the controversy of VDR's expression in skeletal muscle, central to our understanding of vitamin D's effects on this tissue.

Keywords: Development; Muscle; Sarcopenia; Satellite cells; Vitamin D; Vitamin D receptor.
