SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 months

Secondary aims are focused to explore whether vitamin D improves vascular endothelial function through decreases in inflammation

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 months

The effect of calcitriol and cholecalciferol supplementation will be evaluated calculating the mean change in total vascular endothelial cell NFkB expression. NFkB expression is given as arbitrary units and represent ratios of endothelial cell protein expression to human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) expression in order to account for any variation in the staining procedure.
