  • Title: [Hypertension and vitamin D: not again].
    Author: Wuerzner G, Burnier M, Waeber B.
    Journal: Rev Med Suisse; 2011 Jan 19; 7(278):121-4. PubMed ID: 21400943.
    Abstract:
    Vitamin D deficiency , defined by a 25-OH vitamin D3 plasma level < 30 ng/ml, is highly prevalent in the population. Several observational studies have suggested that such a deficiency increases the risk of hypertension development. Vitamin D seems to have an inhibitory effect on renin secretion and might by this mechanism exert an antihypertensive effect. Recent randomized trials have failed however to demonstrate a blood pressure lowering effect of vitamin D supplementation.
