1 Jul 2021
Abstract excerpt
Vitamin D deficiency has been linked with different health problems including male infertility. Its function is mediated by the vitamin D receptor, which acts as a transcription factor. Epigenetic mechanisms such as DNA methylation may affect the vitamin D receptor gene and result in gene silencing.
