The liver is an essential metabolic organ which governs body energy metabolism connected with adipose tissue and skeletal muscle among other tissues. When the liver becomes damaged, this can lead to some metabolic alterations that have a severe and multifaceted impact in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), visceral obesity, and cardiovascular disease related to elevated plasmatic cholesterol, triglycerides, transaminases, and others that indicate hepatic disorders and oxidative stress. The review made by Z. Miao et al. showed new insights and basis for medical therapy on adipose metabolic diseases, related to diet, and more concrete with the consumption of vitamin D. This review summarized the relationship between vitamin D and the adipose tissue that represent the major storage of vitamin D and classified its biological roles and functionalities with the regulation and development on adipogenesis and other metabolic diseases, calcium homeostasis, and energy metabolism.
