Vitamin D therapy in Black people with hypertension shown to decrease blood pressure statistically, though small.

only abstract available here.  Serum vitamin C levels significantly inversely associated with systolic and diastolic blood pressure.  Also of note, this was a human study, not animal.

review article of studies on vitamin C and blood pressure finds mixed results.  I think it all comes down to dosing.  The authors highlight 2 studies to make their point. One find a significant reduction and another found a slight increase.  The dosing of the vitamin C was only 500 mg/day.  A woefully inadequate therapeutic dosing of vitamin C, especially when dealing with the significant deficiencies that can be found in disease states.

Study finds a nominal dose of vitamin C, 500 mg/day, decreased blood pressure and arterial stiffness in diabetics after only 1 month.  Imagine what you can do with therapeutic levels?

review article of 29 studies finds a reduction in blood pressure with vitamin C.  The average dosing of vitamin C was 500 mg, which is a woefully inadequate dose.  The average study follow up was 8 weeks.

European study showed that vitamin D replacement in those with low vitamin D levels, had benefits of lowered blood pressure.

NF-kappaB and the associated inflammatory pathways are associated with tumor growth, vascular growth within the tumor, and increased migration of macrophages--thus more inflammation.  When NF-kappaB inhibition was achieved, tumor macrophages and new tumor blood vessel growth was decreased.  Reduced blood vessel growth to the tumor has implications on metastasis of the tumor.

discussion of the declining levels of androgens in the aging male.  But the focus of this entire article is wrong.  They are focusing on the blood levels of these androgens.  The biological effects of hormones occur in tissue not blood.  Though this article provides a good discussion of how transport of androgens are effected, it falls far short of providing any useful clinical application, because it fails to discuss peripheral levels of androgens.  

Testosterone therapy followed over 5 years in hypogonadal men found physiologic replacement of Testosterone decreased Total cholesterol, decreased LDL, increased HDL, decreased blood pressure, decreased blood glucose, decreased HgbA1c, decreased CRP, ALT, and AST.
