Vitamin D Is Associated with Improved Survival in Early-Stage Non–Small Cell Lung Cancer Patients

Vitamin D may inhibit the development and progression of a wide spectrum of cancers. We investigated the associations of surgery season and vitamin D intake with recurrence-free survival (RFS) and…

Vitamin C Improves Endothelial Function of Conduit Arteries in Patients With Chronic Heart Failure

Background—Chronic heart failure (CHF) is associated with endothelial dysfunction including impaired endothelium-mediated, flow-dependent dilation (FDD). There is evidence for increased radical formation in CHF, raising the possibility that nitric oxide…

Demonstration of Rapid Onset Vascular Endothelial Dysfunction After Hyperhomocysteinemia. An Effect Reversible With Vitamin C Therapy

Background—Hyperhomocysteinemia is a major and independent risk factor for vascular disease. The mechanisms by which homocysteine promotes atherosclerosis are not well understood. We hypothesized that elevated homocysteine concentrations are associated…
