Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The liposoluble vitamins D and K are well known to play roles in multiple processes, from calcium metabolism to immunity, to energy metabolism and cancer prevention. This Special Issue will focus on the role of vitamin D- and K-dependent proteins in diseases associated with metabolic or endocrine disbalances. In addition to providing insights into the vitamin D and K status in healthy subjects and diseases, this Special Issue will pay special attention to the regulatory effects of short-chain fatty acids, as products of the gut microbiota, on serum vitamin K-dependent proteins. Researchers are invited to share their knowledge and expertise regarding their recent research observations in this field.
