A little more sunlight or vitamin D3 supplementation could help restore damage to your cardiovascular system, according to the doctors. results of a study published in the medical journal International Journal of Nanomedicine.
Researchers at Ohio University in the United States have identified the molecular mechanism of the restoration triggered by vitamin D3 of the function of damaged endothelium in the cardiovascular system. Endothelial dysfunction is a common denominator of several cardiovascular diseases.
Vitamin D3 protects the heart
Scientists have developed methods and measurement systems using nanosensors, which are about 1,000 times smaller in diameter than a human hair, to track the effects of vitamin D3 on the cardiovascular system. They discovered that vitamin D3 is a potent stimulator of nitric oxide (NO), a molecule essential in regulating blood flow and preventing clot formation in the cardiovascular system. In addition, vitamin D3 significantly reduces the level of oxidative stress in the cardiovascular system.
Researchers have observed that treatment with vitamin D3 can significantly restore damage to the cardiovascular system caused by several diseases, includinghypertension, atherosclerosis and the diabetes, while reducing the risk of heart attack.
“In general, vitamin D3 is associated with bone, but in recent years, people in clinical settings have recognized that many patients with heart attack are deficient in vitamin D3, which does not mean that the deficiency caused the heart attack, but that it increased the risk, ”explained Tadeusz Malinski, professor and author of the study.
