About this Research Topic
The endocrine system plays a crucial role in the regulation of vitamin and mineral ion homeostasis, which is essential for maintaining normal physiological functions of the body. This regulation is disrupted in various chronic diseases, contributing to the development of debilitating conditions, affecting almost all the major systems of the body, including renal, musculoskeletal, gastrointestinal, and neural systems.
Understanding the extent of the hormonal impact on cellular and tissue functions, as well as the potential for reversing such disruptions, is essential for reducing the disease burden in chronic human disorders.
This Research Topic invites the submission of various types of scholarly contributions to provide a comprehensive understanding of the endocrine regulation of vitamin and mineral ion metabolism and its clinical implications. The Research Topic intends to publish:
1. Original research works presenting unpublished human studies and experimental research findings.
2. Updated review articles summarizing the current state of knowledge in the existing literature.
3. Brief commentaries discussing emerging areas and developments in mineral ion metabolism and vitamin regulation.
The objective of the Research Topic is to gather a diverse range of submissions that collectively (1) offer a thorough and up-to-date understanding of the endocrine control of mineral ion and vitamin metabolism, and (2) identify areas for further research and potential applications in the management of chronic disorders and associated complications.
The overarching goal of this Research Topic is to bring together basic scientists and clinicians to explain how miscommunication between vitamins and mineral ions contribute to altered bone mineralization, disrupted energy metabolism, altered cell signaling, neuronal irregularities, and nutrition-associated deformities.
