Vitamin D concentrations, endothelial progenitor cells, and cardiovascular risk factors.

چکیده
Our study aimed to establish the association of vitamin D status with the level of circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) and circulating angiogenic cells (CACs) and to demonstrate the effect of vitamin D on the level of lipoproteins responsible for increased cardiovascular risk and high blood pressure. 41 healthy adults were selected. EPCs were defined as CD34+/KDR+ cells, and CACs were defined as cells that expressed endothelial markers after incubation of mononuclear blood cells with endothelial growth factors during 5 days. We found a positive association between EPCs, CACs and the level of vitamin D and an inverse correlation between several subclasses of lipoproteins. The level of vitamin D higher than 40 ng/ml demonstrated a positive effect on regulation of blood pressure, and there was significant difference in cholesterol/HDL ratio, very low-density lipoproteins, and triglycerides for groups of subjects with varying levels of vitamin D.

Abstract Background and Objectives Dysfunction of endothelial cells is associated with the development of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. Adult endothelial progenitor cells are derived from hematopoietic stem cells capable of forming new blood vessels through a process of angiogenesis. This study was to investigate the effect of resistance training on HIF-1α gene expression and rec...
