Vitamin D has been discovered centuries ago, and current studies have focused on the biological effects of vitamin D on adipogenesis. Besides its role in calcium homeostasis and energy metabolism, vitamin D is also involved in the regulation of development and process of metabolic disorders. Adipose tissue is a major storage depot of vitamin D. This review summarized studies on the relationship between vitamin D and adipogenesis and furthermore focuses on adipose metabolic disorders. We reviewed the biological roles and functionalities of vitamin D, the correlation between vitamin D and adipose tissue, the effect of vitamin D on adipogenesis, and adipose metabolic diseases. Vitamin D is associated with adipogenesis, and vitamin D supplements can reduce the burden caused by metabolic diseases. The review provides new insights and basis for medical therapy on adipose metabolic diseases.
维生素 D 的发现可以追溯到几个世纪以前,目前的研究主要集中在维生素 D 对脂肪生成的生物学作用上。除了在钙稳态和能量代谢中的作用外,维生素 D 还参与了代谢紊乱的发育和过程的调节。脂肪组织是维生素 D 的主要储存库。本综述总结了维生素 D 与脂肪生成之间的关系,并进一步关注了脂肪代谢紊乱。我们回顾了维生素 D 的生物学作用和功能、维生素 D 与脂肪组织的相关性、维生素 D 对脂肪生成的影响以及脂肪代谢疾病。维生素 D 与脂肪生成有关,维生素 D 补充剂可以减轻代谢疾病带来的负担。该综述为脂肪代谢疾病的医学治疗提供了新的见解和依据。
