Seeing through the fog: a neuroendocrine explanation for post-COVID cognitive deficits
Nature Reviews Endocrinology, Published online: 29 January 2024; doi:10.1038/s41574-024-00955-3Gonadotropin-releasing hormone is implicated in cognitive functions, and its loss is a factor in pathological brain ageing. There are similarities between these processes and the neurological and cognitive deficits observed in patients with long COVID. Here, we explore the hypothesis that neuroanatomical and transcriptomic alterations associated with long COVID could stem from this neuroendocrine perturbation. (Source: Nature Reviews Endocrinology)

A view on vitamin D: a pleiotropic factor?
Nature Reviews Endocrinology, Published online: 22 January 2024; doi:10.1038/s41574-023-00942-0Vitamin D is precursor of the steroid hormone calcitriol and has important functions throughout the body, including increasing intestinal absorption of calcium, magnesium and phosphate. Vitamin D deficiency has been linked with a range of disorders, including several bone diseases. However, large trials of vitamin D supplementation have produced mixed results. Here, experts from around the world discuss several key questions in the vitamin D research and clinical fields. (Source: Nature Reviews Endocrinology)
