Correlation between Vitamin D, homocysteine and brain-derived neurotrophic factor levels in patients with ischemic stroke
CONCLUSIONS: Vitamin D supplementation was used as a therapeutic agent in patients with acute ischemic stroke that affects homocysteine and BDNF levels. In this study, it was demonstrated for the first time that there is a correlation between serum vitamin D levels and BDNF levels in patients who have experienced a stroke.PMID:36394751 | DOI:10.26355/eurrev_202211_30154

Post-ischemic stroke systemic inflammation: Immunomodulation by progesterone and vitamin D hormone.
In this study, we examined the immunomodulatory effects of progesterone (P4) alone and in combination with vitamin D hormone (VDH) on acute phase post-stroke peripheral immune dysfunction and functional/behavioral deficits. Adult rats underwent transient middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion (tMCAO) and delayed systemic inflammation was induced by injections of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) beginning 24 h post-stroke. Animals were tested for behavioral outcomes and immune function at day 4 post-stroke. We also measured infarction volume and markers of neuronal inflammation (GFAP, IL-6) and apoptosis (cleaved caspase-3) ...
