The potential extra-skeletal effects of the vitamin D endocrine system (which refers to vitamin D in its active form, its precursors and metabolites, and vitamin D receptor) are based on several arguments. For example, the vitamin D receptor (VDR) and CYP27B1 (the enzyme primarily responsible...
SOD activity unit was defined as the amount of SOD required to catalyse the conversion of 1 μmole of superoxide radical anions into oxygen molecules and hydrogen peroxide in one minute. 2.6.3. Glutathione peroxidase assay The antioxidant factor glutathione peroxidase (GPx) plays a crucial role ...
The biology of vitamin D3 is well defined, as are the effects of its active metabolites on various cells, including mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSCs). However, the biological potential of its precursor, cholecalciferol (VD3), has not been sufficientl
Vitamin D supplementation has been shown to reduce the incidence of acute respiratory infections in populations at risk. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of preventing viral infections in healthcare workers. The aim of this study was to assess the hypothesis that vitamin D3 sup...

The LPS challenge was administered as intraperitoneal applications at 21 and 23 days of age (1 and 1.12 mg/kg of body weight, respectively). Four hours after the first LPS application, one bird per experimental unit was euthanized to collect blood, spleen, duodenum, and jejunum samples. We ...
Vitamin D deficiency is prevalent worldwide, but some groups are at greater risk. We aim to evaluate vitamin D levels in different occupations and identify groups vulnerable to vitamin D deficiency. An electronic search conducted in Medline, Embase, the
