Vitamin D, vitamin D receptor, and cathelicidin in the treatment of tuberculosis.

Vitamins and hormones - 1 Jan 2011

Selvaraj P

Abstract excerpt

Vitamin D plays a major role in bone mineral density and calcium homeostasis. Apart from its classical action, the active form of vitamin D [1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) (1,25(OH)(2)D(3))] influences the innate and adaptive immune functions through vitamin D receptor (VDR) that are present in various cells of the immune system. Vitamin D deficiencies have been associated with development of tuberculosis (TB)...
