Vitamin D & endothelial function
There is increasing interest in the extra-skeletal roles of vitamin D for health and well-being. Poor vitamin D status has been associated with obesity, cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and mental health. Endothelial dysfunction may underscore insulin resistance and hence predispose to both cardiovascular disease (CVD) and type 2 diabetes. The objective of this review was to gain an appr...
متن کاملVitamin D: a novel player in endothelial function and dysfunction
Vitamin D is produced endogenously in the skin after exposure to the ultraviolet B spectrum of sunlight. Importantly, only few foods are natural sources of a consistent amount of vitamin D. Consequently, vitamin D insufficiency and deficiency are widespread among humans due to limited sun exposure and insufficient consumption of foods or beverages containing vitamin D. Vitamin D, as an inactive...
متن کاملEffects of Vitamin D on Blood Pressure and Endothelial Function
Vitamin D deficiency is prevalent, primarily due to limited sun exposure, which may be observed in urban areas, or as a result of modern lifestyles. Common myths about vitamin D persist, including that it is mostly obtained from the diet and is only essential for bone and mineral homeostasis. Nonetheless, advances in biomedical science suggest that vitamin D is a hormone that is integral to num...
متن کاملEffect of vitamin D on endothelial progenitor cells function
BACKGROUND Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) are a population of bone marrow-derived cells, which have an important role in the process of endothelialization and vascular repair following injury. Impairment of EPCs, which occurs in patients with diabetes, was shown to be related to endothelial dysfunction, coronary artery disease (CAD) and adverse clinical outcomes. Recent evidence has shown ...
متن کاملVitamin D and Immune Function
Vitamin D metabolizing enzymes and vitamin D receptors are present in many cell types including various immune cells such as antigen-presenting-cells, T cells, B cells and monocytes. In vitro data show that, in addition to modulating innate immune cells, vitamin D also promotes a more tolerogenic immunological status. In vivo data from animals and from human vitamin D supplementation studies ha...
