Abstract
- The effects of vitamin D receptor activation on cardiovascular diseases, especially hypertension and cardiac dysfunction, are areas of active investigation. This article reviews the current state of knowledge about vitamin D receptor activation with respect to blood pressure, heart, and vascular health, as well as to chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease. Potential biological mechanisms, the role of vitamin D-binding protein, and data from observational and randomized controlled trials on this topic are summarized. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
