Vitamin D plays several biological functions in atherosclerosis, inflammation,angiogenesis, arterial stiffness, and calcification by affecting many cell types tomaintain healthy vasculature(13).The effective form of vitamin D acts as a nuclear hormone via the binding vitamin Dreceptor (VDR) that is produced in most cells, such as immune cells; osteoblasts;myocytes; vascular endothelial, myocardial, and vascular smooth muscle cells;pericytes; neurons; osteoblasts; adipose tissue; and retinal cells(14). Here, VDR is linked to atherosclerosis.
