The discovery that the vitamin D receptor is localized to the t-tubules of cardiac myocytes provides a mechanistic basis for the rapid, nongenomic effects of vitamin D on heart contractility.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Does not support vitamin D modulation of cardiac function in patients; leaves open t-tubule VDR relevance to human contractility.
Tishkoff et al. (2007) studied this question.
