Chronic activation of the inflammatory response, defined as inflammaging, is the key physio-
pathological substrate for anabolic resistance, sarcopenia and frailty in older individuals …

Methods: A comprehensive literature search of PubMed was performed to find clinical trials
in humans that assessed the effect of nutrients and phytonutrients on immune function and …

In older persons, vitamin D insufficiency and a subclinical chronic inflammatory status
frequently coexist. Vitamin D has immune-modulatory and in vitro anti-inflammatory …

Evidence on biological plausibility from mechanistic studies and highly consistent data from
observational studies raise the possibility that optimizing vitamin D status may reduce the …

Vitamin D has been recognised as a potent immunomodulator and its deficiency is common
in different population groups including patients with diabetic foot infection. Diabetic foot …

Introduction Low serum vitamin D levels are associated with the development of poststroke
depression (PSD). Inflammatory markers play an important role in pathophysiology of PSD …

Inflammatory cytokines, like tumor necrosis factor–alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6), are
elevated in ovarian cancer. Differences in cytokine expression by histologic subytpe or …

Vitamin D status is inversely associated with the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS).
Whether this is true in the elderly without vitamin D deficiency is rarely investigated. Our data …

Elevated inflammation in pregnancy has been associated with multiple adverse pregnancy
outcomes and potentially an increased susceptibility to future chronic disease. How …

Background Significant differences in immune responses, prevalence or susceptibility of
diseases and treatment responses have been described between males and females …
