The effect of vitamin D3 supplementation on markers of cardiovascular health in hyperparathyroid, vitamin D insufficient women: a randomized placebo-controlled trial

Purpose Emerging data supports an association between parathyroid hormone (PTH) and aldosterone.

Description
Summary:Purpose Emerging data supports an association between parathyroid hormone (PTH) and aldosterone. It has been speculated, that potential adverse cardiovascular effects of vitamin D insufficiency may partly be caused by the development of secondary hyperparathyroidism with increased activity of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS). We aimed to investigate the effect of normalizing vitamin D status and/or reducing PTH levels on RAAS activity and other markers of cardiovascular health. Methods In a double-blinded study during wintertime, we randomized 81 healthy postmenopausal women with secondary hyperparathyroidism (PTH > 6.9 pmol/l) and 25-hydroxy-vitamin D (25(OH)D) levels
