Vitamin D system might participate in senescence-ageing processes. Through a wide range of cellular and nuclear mechanisms, vitamin D can modulate many aspects of cellular senescence: mitochondrial survival and activity, intracellular calcium concentrations, and direct/epigenetic control on gene transcription. Those mechanisms may further explain the tight pathophysiological link between vitamin D axis and age-related diseases, including cardiovascular diseases.
