Vitamin D is an important component of the endocrine system that controls calcium
homeostasis and bone mineralization. Because of the very short half-life of free serum …

Ultraviolet B (UVB), in addition to having carcinogenic activity, is required for the production
of vitamin D3 (D3) in the skin which supplies> 90% of the body's requirement. Vitamin D is …

A role for vitamin D in immune modulation and in cancer has been suggested. In this work,
we report that mice with increased availability of vitamin D display greater immune …

Vitamin D is the sunshine vitamin. During exposure to sunlight, 7-dehydrocholesterol in the
skin absorbs ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation converting it to previtamin D3. Previtamin D3 …

Increasing scientific evidence supports the link between vitamin D and cancer risk. The
active metabolite 1, 25 (OH) 2D exerts its activity by binding to the vitamin D receptor (VDR) …

Abstract Antiproliferative effects of 1, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D, the biologically active form of
vitamin D, are well established in various cell types by influencing cell differentiation and …

Vitamin D plays a significant role in our health, including cancer incidence and mortality.
Vitamin D receptor (VDR) single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) may affect its activity …

Помимо хорошо известного влияния на метаболизм костной ткани витамин D (VD)
вовлечен во множество других процессов в организме человека, и в том числе в …

Background: Epidemiologic evidence supported a role for vitamin D and vitamin D receptor
(VDR) polymorphisms in cancer risk. Beyond VDR, the biologic effects of vitamin D are …

Numerous studies investigated the associations of VDR polymorphisms with various types of
cancer, suggesting an influence on cancer risk. FokI is one of the most frequently analysed …
