Subject: vitamin d influences longevity by working at genetic level
We know that constant badgering from our doctors saying that Vitamin D or any of the recommended vitamins are important to take but did you know that taking Vitamin D may help produce longevity in your life by working at the genetic level? A new study in worms shows that Vitamin D suppressed protein insolubility and prevented the toxicity.
Key Takeaways:
- In the normal aging process, protein homeostasis is disturbed resulting in the accumulation of toxic insoluble protein aggregates.
- A new study in nematode worms, shows that vitamin D suppressed protein insolubility in the worm and prevented the toxicity.
- Vitamin D works through genes that are known to influence longevity and impacts processes associated with many human age-related diseases.
"Excess vitamin D can raise blood levels of calcium which leads to vascular and tissue calcification, with subsequent damage to the heart, blood vessels and kidneys."
