Vitamin D deficiency is associated with several diseases including multiple sclerosis (MS).
Several factors influence vitamin D levels and its optimal multi-function maintenance. Our …

Objectives Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a neurodegenerative chronic inflammatory. Mutations in
the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene can substantially affect serum vitamin D levels or alter its …

Background & Aims: 1, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1, 25 (OH) 2 D3), the biologically active
form of vitamin D, exerts an immunosuppressive effect through binding to its specific nuclear …

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a common neurologic disorder that is a chronic inflammatory,
demyelinating, and neurodegenerative disease of the central nervous system (CNS). Its …

Background Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most prevalent autoimmune inflammatory
demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS) in young adults. More than 50 …

Background Polymorphisms of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene have been linked to both
multiple sclerosis (MS) and osteoporosis. We examined the frequency of the Taq-I and Bsm-I …

Objective: It is still unclear as to why multiple sclerosis (MS) is so devastating and rapidly
progressive in one patient and less so in another. Recent data implicate vitamin D in …

Purpose Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory and neurodegenerative disease.
Vitamin D has a major role in preventing inflammatory disorders. Therefore, any alteration in …

Background: The environmental influence of sun exposure and vitamin D in particular and
its implication with multiple sclerosis (MS) has recently received considerable attention …

The extent to which potential genetic determinants of vitamin D levels may be related to
multiple sclerosis (MS) risk has not been thoroughly explored. The objective of this study …
