In the spring, data for Italy were announced, and they surprised: patients were diagnosed with vitamin D deficiency - this is despite their sunshine! Now data for Mexico has been published - the same situation,” said the academician.
He added that previously vitamin D was considered as a hormone that regulates phosphorus-calcium metabolism and prevents rickets and osteoporosis.
“Then they discovered a connection with cardiovascular diseases. And now they have discovered a connection with the immune system: it works as a modulator of the immune system, an activator of T-cell immunity. In general, the mechanisms of its positive effect are clear,” Shlyakhto concluded.
