1 Introduction Chronic kidney disease (CKD) represents a growing global health burden, with increasing mortality and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) ( 2 Vitamin D metabolism and physiological functions Vitamin D is a fat-soluble prohormone that is synthesized primarily in the skin from 7-dehydrocholesterol under ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation, forming previtamin D, which is then thermally isomerized into cholecalciferol (vitamin D)
Skin quality may begin to improve with increased collagen production

Meaningful weight reduction (5% or more of body weight) requires 812 weeks of sustained caloric deficit alongside the injections, often with GLP-1 medication support
In response to starvation or rapamycin, ZKSCAN3 is exported to the cytoplasm, relieving repression and enabling TFEB to activate CLEAR motif-driven gene expression
This broad capacity to dampen immune activation and promote a reparative cellular environment is particularly beneficial in neuroinflammatory contexts, where chronically activated microglia and astrocytes play key roles in driving neuronal dysfunction and degeneration
