“Vitamin D is a steroid hormone that participates in many aspects of human health, including regulation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, an endocrine system that plays key roles in blood pressure control.”

“The study's investigators placed the men into one of three groups: normal sleep (eight hours per night, for five nights); sleep restriction (four hours per night, for five nights); and sleep restriction/exercise (four hours per night, for five nights plus three high-intensity interval exercise sessions on a cycle ergometer).”
