Role Of Vitamin D In Preeclampsia

Abstract

There is evidence that vitamin D promotes angiogenic characteristics in endothelial progenitor cells and that it modulates endothelial function and dysfunction in cell models. [Citation needed] [Abstract] This provides an explanation for the potential function of vitamin D in the development of preeclampsia. However, there is still debate on whether preeclampsia can be prevented by taking vitamin D supplements and at what dosage. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether or not vitamin D plays a function in preeclampsia.
