Résumé

Vitamin D is known to play a crucial role in mineral homeostasis and bone metabolism. Recent discoveries showed that the vitamin also regulate the inflammatory mediators. A number of studies have reported on the association of low vitamin D levels with increased level of inflammatory parameters; which predisposes to atherosclerosis and development of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Since inflammation is implicated in the pathogenesis of CVD, measurement of inflammatory marker levels has been proposed as a method to improve the prediction of these events. In this review, the mechanism of inflammation and role of vitamin D in combating inflammation are discussed
