1α,25-Dihydroxycholecalciferol (Vitamin D3) Induces NO-Dependent Endothelial Cell Proliferation and Migration in a Three-Dimensional Matrix

1α,25-Dihydroxycholecalciferol (Vitamin D3) Induces NO-Dependent Endothelial Cell Proliferation and Migration in a Three-Dimensional Matrix

Background/Aims: The 1α,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol (Vit. D) induces eNOS dependent nitric oxide (NO) production in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). To our knowledge, there are no reports directly relating Vit. D induced NO production to proliferation and/or migration in endothelial c...
