Basic/Clinical Science Session
New Developments in Vitamin D Metabolism and Action
October 23, 2020 | 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Location: On-Demand
Session Description
Vitamin D has a significant role in calcium homeostasis and metabolism. Its discovery was due to a search for the dietary substance lacking in children with rickets. Vitamin D supplements are given to treat or to prevent osteomalacia and rickets. This session provides an update on different aspects of vitamin D metabolism, mechanism of action, and clinical application.
