San Raffaele Open University Researcher Describes Findings in Applied Sciences (Exploring Vitamin D Synthesis and Function in Cardiovascular Health: A Narrative Review).

A study conducted by researchers at San Raffaele Open University in Rome, Italy explores the synthesis and function of Vitamin D in cardiovascular health. The study emphasizes the importance of Vitamin D in various physiological processes, including bone health, immune function, and calcium homeostasis. It also discusses the role of Vitamin D in regulating blood pressure and atherosclerosis in cardiovascular disorders. The research examines the influence of food processing on Vitamin D levels and proposes innovative strategies to mitigate Vitamin D loss during food processing. The study aims to improve understanding of Vitamin D's biochemical pathways and its relevance to food science, contributing to the development of new strategies for food fortification and promoting optimal health through diet.
