Vitamin D3 could prevent and repair cardiovascular damage
A new study by researchers at Ohio University found that Vitamin D3 could prevent and restore damage caused by several cardiovascular diseases.
From article, (The researchers tracked the effects of Vitamin D3 on single endothelial cells (the cells that line the blood vessels of the cardiovascular system), using nanosensors which were about 1,000 times smaller in diameter than a human hair.
They found that vitamin D3 is a powerful stimulator of nitric oxide (NO); a signaling molecule involved inthe prevention of blood clots in the cardiovasculature system and the regulation of blood flow. Furthermore, vitamin D3 could significantly reduce the level of oxidative stress in the circulatory system.
The study also showed that treatments involving vitamin D3 could significantly restore damage to the circulatory system caused by various diseases, including atherosclerosis, diabetes, and hypertension, thereby reducing the risk of heart attack.
The studies were performed on cells from Caucasian Americans and African Americans and showed obtained similar outcomes for both ethnic group.)
