Evidence from the studies included in this systematic review did not demonstrate that vitamin D supplementation in adults , results in an improvement in circulating inflammatory and endothelial function biomarkers/parameters .
This systematic review does not therefore support the use of vitamin D supplementation as a therapeutic or preventative measure for CVD in this respect
This systematic review aims to evaluate r and omised controlled trials ( RCTs ) investigating the effect of vitamin D supplementation on  endothelial function and inflammation in adults .
Does vitamin D improve liver enzymes, oxidative stress, and inflammatory biomarkers in adults with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease? A randomized clinical trial
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of vitamin D supplementation on serum aminotransferases , insulin resistance , oxidative stress , and inflammatory biomarkers in adult patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease ( NAFLD ) . Fifty-three patients with NAFLD were enrolled in a parallel , double-blind , placebo-controlled study . The patients were r and omly allocated to receive either one oral pearl consisting of 50,000 IU vitamin D3 ( n = 27 ) or a placebo ( n = 26 ) , every 14 days for 4 months . Serum aminotransferases , high-sensitive C-reactive protein ( hs-CRP ) , tumor necrosis factor α , malondialdehyde ( MDA ) , total antioxidant capacity , transforming growth factor β1 , as well as grade of hepatic steatosis and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance were assessed pre- and post-intervention . In patients who received vitamin D supplement compared to the controls , the median of serum 25(OH)D3 significantly increased ( 16.2 vs. 1.6 ng/ml , P < 0.001 ) . This increase accompanied by significant decrease in serum MDA ( −2.09 vs. −1.23 ng/ml , P = 0.03 ) and near significant changes in serum hs-CRP ( −0.25 vs. 0.22 mg/l , P = 0.06 ) . These between-group differences remained significant even after controlling for baseline covariates . Other variables showed no significant changes . Improved vitamin D status led to amelioration in serum hs-CRP and MDA in patients with NAFLD . This might be considered as an adjunctive therapy to attenuate systemic inflammation and lipid peroxidation alongside other treatments for NAFLD patients
