Vitamin D Deficiency Is Associated with Depletion of Circulating Endothelial Progenitor Cells and Endothelial Dysfunction in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes

Abstract: Our results demonstrate that serum 25(OH)D status was significantly associated with brachial artery FMD and circulating CD133+/KDR+EPCs. This suggests that Vit-D deficiency might contribute to depletion of EPCs and endothelial dysfunction in patients with type 2 DM.

“…Many authors have suggested that a low serum level of vitamin D 3 plays a role in the insulin resistance observed in PCOS, which may be corrected by vitamin D 3 replacement (39). In type 2 diabetes, vitamin D 3 improved the flow-mediated vasodilation of the brachial artery (9). The latter study demonstrated the direct vascular effects of vitamin D 3 treatment: the flow-mediated dilation of the brachial artery was significantly diminished in patients with low serum levels of vitamin D 3 .…”

“…Vitamin D may be also used as adjuvant therapy in women with PCOS (8). The positive effects of vitamin D administration on glucose metabolism (9,10) and the reduction of cardiovascular complications (11,12) are known, but vitamin D is not yet commonly used in PCOS therapy.…”

“…In the other hand, changes in level of vitamin D can influence endothelial function in pathological conditions as evident by Yiu & colleagues [33] who stated that deficiency of vitamin D was associated with endothelial dysfunction documented by FMD in 280 patients with T2DM. In addition, Sugden et al [37] reported that brachial artery FMD of T2DM patients significantly improved after single dose of vitamin D (100,000 IU) for 2 months.…”

“…This process may be under the control of 25(OH)D3 (17). Recent studies have confirmed the relationship between 25(OH)D3 and depleted numbers of circulating endothelial progenitor cells in diabetes mellitus (18,19). However, the relationship between the number of circulating progenitor mononuclear cells in MetS patients and 25(OH)D3 levels is not yet fully clear.…”
