Vitamin D deficiency/insufficient has become public health problem. Additionally, it has encouraged the indiscriminate use of this vitamin. Vitamin D supplementation causes oxidative stress, inflammation, apoptosis, change energy metabolism and morphology and cardiac function. In addition, vitamin D supplementation increases serum phosphorus and hyperphosphatemia stimulates the release of…
Cardiac remodeling has a key role in ventricular dysfunction after myocardial infarction. Some cellular mechanisms such as oxidative stress, inflammation and fibrosis modulate this process. Thus, treatment or repair of post-infarction changes has great clinical relevance. There is great interest in natural products with antioxidant properties, especially rosemary.
