Background: Vitamin D deficiency has been associated with increased sepsis incidence and
mortality in various populations. Vitamin D exerts its effect through vitamin receptor (VDR) …

Background Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that regulates calcium and phosphorous
homeostasis to maintain a healthy mineralized skeleton. It can also influence immune …

Background: To investigate the association between sepsis and the vitamin D receptor
(VDR) gene polymorphisms. Methods: Databases including PubMed, Cochrane Library …

Association of vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms with sepsis risk and mortality
was studied. VDR FokI CC genotype was associated with increased sepsis risk (OR …

Background Sepsis is life-threatening organ dysfunction as a result of the host's
dysregulated immune response to infection. The vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene FokI …

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 …

Objective Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by the host's imbalance in
response to infection, which is still the leading cause of death in critically ill patients. In …

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 …

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 …

Vitamin D has potent antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. Vitamin D deficiency
has been shown to be associated with the risk of vulnerability to different infectious …
