Do you have a heart attack? The study found that treatment with vitamin D3 may help restore damage to the cardiovascular system.
Vitamin D3 is naturally produced when the skin is exposed to sunlight or over-the-counter pills.
Several diseases, including high blood pressure, fat accumulation, cholesterol in the arterial and arterial walls and diabetes mellitus, may lead to cardiovascular damage, increasing the risk of heart attacks.
However, the higher doses of skeletal-related vitamin D3 (vitamin D3) than those currently used to treat skeletal disorders may be very beneficial for the treatment of dysfunctional cardiovascular systems.
"Vitamin D3, in general, is bone-related, but in recent years it has been clinically recognized that many people with heart attacks lack D3, which does not mean that defects lead to heart attacks but rather heart The risk of an attack, "said Tadeusz Malinski, a graduate student at Ohio University.
In a paper published in the International Journal of Nanomedicine, the team used nanosensors that were about 1000 times smaller in diameter than human hair to track the effects of vitamin D3 on single endothelial cells, a key regulator of the cardiovascular system .
The researchers said endothelial dysfunction is a common feature of several cardiovascular diseases, especially those associated with ischemic events.
Malinski said: "If there is a known system can be used to restore already damaged cardiovascular endothelial cells, vitamin D3 can do it.
"This is a very cheap solution to repair the cardiovascular system and we do not have to develop new drugs and we already have it."
Vitamin D3 may also have clinical significance for the restoration of endocardial dysfunction after heart attack, capillary endothelium after cerebral ischemia (stroke), hypovolemia, vascular lesions, diabetes and atherosclerosis.
