Background: Vitamin D plays crucial roles in immune cell function, including macrophage
activation, immune response modulation, and antimicrobial peptide production. Low vitamin …

Objectives: Vitamin D has potent immunomodulatory effects with the capability of acting as
an autocrine and paracrine agent, and inhibits inflammatory signaling. In this study, our aim …

Background: Sepsis is the leading cause of mortality in the critically ill. Recently, it has been
found in many studies that many trace elements and nutrients do have an effect on human …

Background: It is well-established that vitamin D status is closely associated with the
susceptibility to infections. We aimed to study the association between vitamin D status and …

The prognostic value of 3 types (total, bioavailable, and free) of 25-hydroxy vitamin D [25
(OH) D] and vitamin D binding protein (VDBP) in patients with sepsis is unknown. The aim of …

Background: Vitamin D has proven immunomodulatory effects. As per the literature, there is
a vitamin D deficiency observed in critically ill sepsis patients. Aims and Objectives: The …

BACKGROUND: Vitamin D deficiency is associated with an increased risk and progression
of the disease, especially sepsis. Low serum Vitamin D levels when patients enter the …

Background: Vitamin D is important in immunomodulation, regulation of inflammation and
cytokines, cell proliferation, cell differentiation, apoptosis, angiogenesis, muscle strength …

Background: On the basis of the literature, vitamin D is known as an important medium in
bodily immune function, and it therefore may play a role in the pathogenesis of sepsis …

Objective. This study aimed to determine the role of vitamin D-binding protein (VDBP) gene
polymorphisms (especially at locus rs7041), vitamin D-binding protein levels, and vitamin D …
