Vitamin D, the Vitamin D Receptor, Calcitriol Analogues and Their Link with Ocular Diseases
Nutrients, 2022 The global prevalence of eye diseases continues to grow, bringing with it a reduction in the activity levels and quality of life of patients, and partial or complete blindness if left untreated. As such, there is considerable interest in identifying more effective therapeutic options and preventive agents.

Association between serum vitamin d level and glaucoma in women
Acta Clinica Croatica, 2016 The aim of the study was to determine whether serum vitamin D level is lower in female patients with glaucoma as compared with control group. The mechanism by which vitamin D reduces intraocular pressure is not fully clarified. Almost all tissues possess

Serum Concentration of Vitamin D in Patients with Oral Lichen Planus
Acta Stomatologica Croatica, 2023 Objectives: The vitamin D receptor is involved in immunologically mediated diseases such as oral lichen planus. Some studies suggest an association between lower vitamin D concentrations and a higher risk of inflammatory conditions such as oral lichen ...

Effect of glyoxylate on the function of the calcitriol receptor and vitamin D metabolism
Kidney International, 1997 The biological action of calcitriol is mostly mediated through the interaction of the calcitriol receptor (VDR) with vitamin D response elements (VDREs) of target genes. These interactions produce special proteins that carry out the biological activities of calcitriol.

Coordinate regulation of PTH/PTHrP receptors by PTH and calcitriol in UMR 106-01 osteoblast-like cells [PDF]
, 1996 Coordinate regulation of PTH/PTHrP receptors by PTH and calcitriol in UMR 106-01 osteoblast-like cells. High levels of PTH result in desensitization of target cells to further stimulation with PTH in vivo and in vitro.

Vitamin D receptor genotype influences parathyroid hormone and calcitriol levels in predialysis patients [PDF]
Kidney International, 1999 BsmI vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphism has been associated with the severity of hyperparathyroidism in patients on hemodialysis. The aim of this study was to analyze the influence of this polymorphism on parathyroid function and serum calcitriol levels in patients with different degrees of chronic renal failure (CRF) before dialysis.A total of
