The role of 1,25-dihydroxy-vitamin D3 (VitD3) in cardiovascular disease remains controversial. Vitamin D receptors on progenitor cells (PCs) promote maturation and vascular repair by inducing SDF1 expression and homing of CXCR4+ angiogenic myeloid cells. Whether VitD3 levels modulate circulating PCs
