Vitamins are organic compounds and vital nutrients needed by your body to grow and develop in a profound way.

Vitamin D
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble secosteroids found in small amount in few foods, including salmon, mackerel, sardines and tuna. The vitamin plays an important role in modulation of cellular proliferation, apoptosis induction, tumor growth suppression and promotion in absorption of minerals, including calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphate and zinc.

    The Effect of Vitamin D on Benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH)

Benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH) is defined as a condition of increased in the number of cells of prostate gland, causing partial, or sometimes virtually complete obstruction of the urinary tract. According to statistic, BPH commonly starts at age of 30 and symptoms usually can not be realized until age of 50. More than half of men between age of 60-70 are experience symptoms of BPH and only 10% are required treatment.

Epidemiological studies, focusing the use of dietary vitamin E in reduced risk of benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH) have produced inconsistent results(a)(b).

1. Vitamin D receptor(VDR) and BPH
The study of 222 prostate cancer patients, 209 benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) patients, 128 male controls who were over 60 years old and without any evidence of prostate cancer or BPH, and 198 female controls in Japanese men to exp;ore the genetic mutation of polymorphism in the VDR gene for risk of prostate cancer and BPH found the positive effect of BsmI polymorphism in the VDR gene in protection against prostate cancer(1). Other study showed rs731236(genetic)variant of the vitamin D receptor had a protective effect for LUTS, a common symptoms of men with BPH(2), and VDR Fok I polymorphisms(morphs of the phenotype) may be correlated with BPH complicated by histological prostatitis, the study of Graduate School, South Medical Universit showed(3). In Indian population, Taq-I(a restriction enzyme isolated from the bacterium Thermus aquaticus in 1978) and Bsm-I genetic variants of VDR gene influence susceptibilityBPH(4). But in the study of polymorphims with functional significance in the Bsm, Apa 1 and Taq 1 genes were therefore compared in 28 prostate cancer (CaP), 44 benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) and 30 control cases in Thailand, indicated no significant variation in distribution of these three groups. Of that suggested these variations in the distribution frequencies from country to country and depending to other factors such as sun exposure, dietary and other lifestyle factors(5).

2. The serum of Vitamin D
Some researchers suggested that serum of vitamin D may be an indication of early onset of benign prostatichyoerplasia BPH. According to the study by American Urological Association Education and Research, low levels of 25-OHvitamin D is associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia(6). But a study byDemocritus University of Thrace showed no clear relationship between vitamin Dand serum levels of PSA or-of f/t-PSA(free/total prostate specific antigen) in PD patients(7).

3. The effects
BPH(1). BXL-628. a vitamin D3 analog, showed to decrease prostate growth and BPH symptoms, through inhibition of cell migration and cytoskeleton(a cellular scaffolding or skeleton contained within a cell's cytoplasm) remodeling in altered bladder contractility associated with BPH-induced lower urinary tract symptoms(8). Elocalcitol, a vitamin D3 analog, reduced the static component of BPH by inhibiting the activity of intraprostatic growth factors downstream of the androgen receptor, by targeting the RhoA(regulation and timing of cell division)/ROCK(protein, RhoA, RhoC, and ROCK expression were related to poor tumor differentiation) and NF-kappaB(involved in cellular responses to stimuli such as stress, cytokines, free radicals, ultraviolet irradiation, oxidized LDL, and bacterial or viral antigens.) pathway(9). The New York University School of Medicine study showed increase intake of vitamin D impact an adverse correlation with decreased BPH prevalence(10). Another novel nonsecosteroidal VDR agonist (CH5036249) showed an cell growth inhibitory activity of CH5036249 to be comparable to that of 1alpha,25(OH)2D3(11). Other analogs, including BXL-353, may also be potential for patients with BPH(12).

Taken altogether, serum of vitamin D may not be realizable diagnosis in determination the early onset of BPH, and vitamin D analogs are associated to reduced risk and treatment of Benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH).
