The potential regulatory role of Vitamin D in the bioenergetics of inflammation

Purpose of review The extraskeletal health benefits of vitamin D still need scientific endorsement. Obesity and related chronic diseases are pathogenically linked by inflammation, which carries a considerable energetic cost. Recent techniques for the determination of the bioenergetic demand of infla...

description Purpose of review The extraskeletal health benefits of vitamin D still need scientific endorsement. Obesity and related chronic diseases are pathogenically linked by inflammation, which carries a considerable energetic cost. Recent techniques for the determination of the bioenergetic demand of inflammation, offer an avenue to cement the regulatory role of vitamin D in this process. Recent findings Nuclear vitamin D receptors may be translocated into mitochondria of certain cell types, opening up a pathway for direct action on cellular bioenergetics. Classical M1 (inflammatory)/M2(anti-inflammatory) phenotypes can vary with the clinical context. M2 macrophages do not always depend on oxidative metabolism/fatty acid oxidation. Newer methodologies offer real-time bioenergetic measurements that can be used as an index of metabolic health. Summary Vitamin D may prove to be a therapeutic agent for inflammation of chronic disease and understanding its role in cellular bioenergetics may offer a diagnostic/prognostic indicator of its action.
