Introduction Vitamin D is a group of fat-soluble secosteroids which is responsible for improving the intestinal absorption of inorganic ions such as calcium, zinc, iron, and magnesium, phosphate. Vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) and Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) are most vital compounds in the human being. Vitamin D is not actually a vitamin, but a steroid hormone formed in the body when the skin is exposed to sunbeams, mainly ultraviolet B light (UVB) rays22. The compound vitamin D has been found in…

family which can be a risk factor. Osteoporosis mainly depends on the BMD, and the regulation of the BMD is affected by genes. Therefore, osteoporosis is affected by genes. Some of the genes that are associated with causing osteoporosis are the vitamin D receptor, alpha collagen gene and estrogen receptor. Moreover, osteoporosis can result from a mutation in a single gene. However, osteoporosis is rarely caused by a…

Neorealism as a movement, which arose in post-war time, offered a close look into the everyday life of ordinary people. Originating in the wake of the resistance…

The hypothesis is that depigmentation of the skin occurred by selection because of the decreased UVR to promote synthesis of vitamin D. The synthesis of the pre vitamin D3 occurs through photosynthesis. Darkly pigmented skin slows the process of vitamin D3 production. Depigmentation evolved to allow vitamin D3 synthesis outside tropical regions away from the equator. Depigmentation is the lightening of the skin to permit higher synthesis of vitamin D3. There is a requirement of vitamin D3 in low…

Introduction Spinal stenosis happens when the open spaces between the bones of your spine (vertebrae) get smaller (narrow). It is caused by bone pushing into the open spaces of your spine. This puts pressure on your spine and the nerves in your spine. Treatment often focuses on managing any pain and symptoms. In some cases, surgery may be needed. Follow these instructions at home: Rest and protect your back as much as possible. Change positions when you sit, stand, and lie. This can help take…

provide you with more information about osteoporosis, calcium and vitamin D. Osteoporosis is a common bone disease that causes progressive loss of bone density. This causes the bones to become thin and weak, which increases the chances of falling. It is recommended to consume foods and/or supplements containing calcium and vitamin D to prevent osteoporosis. Calcium is the mineral that helps strengthen your bones and vitamin D helps calcium be better absorbed in the body. It is recommended that…
