Vitamin D deficiency promotes accumulation of bioactive lipids and increased endocannabinoid tone in zebrafish

Vitamin D is well known for its traditional role in bone mineral homeostasis; however, recent evidence suggests that vitamin D also plays a significant role in metabolic control. This study served to investigate putative linkages between vitamin D deficiency (VDD) and metabolic disruption of bioacti...
