Current Research Projects
* Efficacy of dietary sodium restriction for improving vascular endothelial function in middle-aged and older adults with moderately elevated systolic blood pressure.
* Efficacy of cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) supplementation for improving vascular endothelial function in middle-aged and older adults with serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D deficiency.
* Role of the renin-angiotensin system in impaired vascular endothelial vasodilatory capacity with sedentary aging.
