(PhysOrg.com) -- An unusual finding in previous studies of vitamin D-deficient patients has prompted Rockefeller University researchers to launch a new clinical study to determine whether there is a causative link between vitamin D supplementation and changes in cholesterol levels in people at risk for cardiovascular disease. Led by Manish Ponda, instructor in clinical investigation in Jan L. Breslow`s Laboratory of Biochemical Genetics and Metabolism, the clinical trial is currently recruiting subjects.
