Vitamin D receptor expression levels determine the severity and complexity of disease progression among leprosy reaction patients

New Microbes and New Infections, 2015
We studied the roles of vitamin D and its receptor, VDR, in the progression of leprosy. The majority of individuals with leprosy from Kolkata, India, with a type 1 or type 2 reaction have low levels of vitamin D3 in serum samples.

Vitamin D Receptor Gene Polymorphisms Modify Cardiometabolic Response to Vitamin D Supplementation in T2DM Patients [PDF]

, 2017
There is conflicting evidence on the favorable effects of vitamin D supplementation on metabolic profile in Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients and this might be due to genetic variations in vitamin D receptors (VDRs). Thus, we studied the metabolic

Role of the placental Vitamin D receptor in modulating feto-placental growth in Fetal growth restriction and Preeclampsia-affected pregnancies.

Frontiers in Physiology, 2016
Fetal growth restriction (FGR) is a common pregnancy complication that affects up to 5% of pregnancies worldwide. Recent studies demonstrate that Vitamin D deficiency is implicated in reduced fetal growth, which may be rescued by supplementation of ...

Renal vitamin D receptor expression and vitamin D renoprotection [PDF]

Kidney International, 2012
Therapy to enhance the renoprotective actions of vitamin D receptor (VDR) activation should safely overcome the distinct VDR content along the nephron to effectively control renal calcium reabsorption, control renal klotho levels for the phosphaturic actions of FGF23, and inhibit proteinuria and the activation of the renin-angiotensin system.
