Abstract

Hypovitaminosis D is common in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and is associated with endothelial dysfunction and cardiovascular events. This study aimed to investigate the effects of vitamin D supplementation on endothelial dysfunction in non-dialysis CKD patients. Seventy-one non-dialysis CKD patients with low vitamin D (serum 25(OH)D < 30 ng/mL) were recruited. Patients received oral cholecalciferol 50,000 units once a week for 12 weeks. Changes in endothelial function by brachial artery flow-mediated dilation (FMD), soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (sVCAM-1), and sE-selectin were studied. There was a significant increase in serum levels of 25(OH)D after cholecalciferol supplementation (33.7 ± 12.1 vs. 13.2 ± 5.4 ng/mL, P < 0.001). Multivariable regression analysis showed that higher proteinuria (β = - 0.548, P < 0.001) and lower levels of 25(OH)D (β = 0.360, P < 0.001) at baseline were related to lower 25(OH)D level after supplementation. FMD increased significantly from 4.4 ± 1.3 to 5.1 ± 1.5% (P < 0.001), and soluble endothelial biomarkers decreased: sVCAM-1 from 926.9 ± 158.0 to 867.0 ± 129.0 ng/mL (P < 0.001), and sE-selectin 69.7 ± 15.8 to 63.3 ± 14.7 ng/mL (P < 0.001). Vitamin D supplementation can improve endot...Continue Reading

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.
