"Several studies have reported the beneficial effect of vitamin D on uterine fibroids. Vitamin D inhibits cell proliferation and induces cell death (apoptosis) and reduces the function of pro-fibrotic factors such as fibromodulin, biglycan and versican. Long term treatment (many months) have shown that fibroid tumors in women decrease in size because of a reduction of the extracellular matrix and up-regulation of apoptosis through the action of transforming growth factor β responsive genes that act on Wnt/β-catenin and mTOR signaling pathways."
