In vitro Effects of Biologically Active Vitamin D on Myogenesis: A Systematic Review (2021)
Journal Article
Alliband, K. H., Kozhevnikova, S. V., Parr, T., Jethwa, P. H., & Brameld, J. M. (2021). In vitro Effects of Biologically Active Vitamin D on Myogenesis: A Systematic Review. Frontiers in Physiology, 12, Article 736708. https://doi.org/10.3389/fphys.2021.736708

Vitamin D (VD) deficiency is associated with muscle weakness. A reduction in the incidence of falls in the elderly following VD supplementation and identification of the VD receptor within muscle cells suggests a direct effect of VD on muscle, but li...

© 2021 The Authors Myosin heavy chain-IIB (MyHC-IIB; encoded by MYH4 or Myh4) expression is often associated with muscle hypertrophic growth. Unlike other large mammals, domestic pig breeds express MyHC-IIB at both the mRNA and protein level. Aim: To...
