Box 641603, San Francisco, CA 94164-1603, USAEmail wbgrant@infionline.netAbstract: The global death toll from noncommunicable diseases is exceptionally high, reported to cause 71% of global deaths worldwide. Metabolic syndrome risk factors, especially excessive adiposity and obesity, are at the heart of the problem resulting in increased co-morbidities such as cardiometabolic diseases and cancer, increased health costs, poorer quality of life, and shortened survival. Vitamin D3 can positively reverse many of these adverse effects and outcomes through blocking signaling mechanisms that predispose to cardiometabolic and metastatic disease. As an affordable natural agent, vitamin D3 can be used to counteract obesity-induced inflammation, block early adipogenesis, enhance glucose uptake, counteract hyperleptinemia, ameliorate insulin resistance, and reduce hypertension. This is supported by data from in vitro, in vivo and epidemiological studies and clinical trials. We propose that everyone in general and obese patients in particular consider raising 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels through UVB exposure and/or supplemental vitamin D3 intake to reduce cardiometabolic and metastatic disease and increase longevity.Keywords: vitamin D, metabolic syndrome, obesity, adipose tissue, cardiovascular disease, risk reductionMoukayed MGrant WBDove Medical Pressarticlevitamin Dvitamin D deficiencypreventionmetabolic syndromeobesityadipose tissuecardiovascular diseaserisk reductionnoncommunicable diseasesSpecialties of internal medicineRC581-951ENDiabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity: Targets and Therapy, Vol Volume 12, Pp 1437-1447 (2019) |
