Excerpt

In the past several years, an important immuno-modulatory role for vitamin D has been identified. At high latitudes, seasonal vitamin D deficiency is common due to due to low UV-B radiation exposure, which is necessary for the synthesis of vitamin D. In this retrospective study we investigated whether vitamin D levels are subject to seasonal variation and whether plasma levels of vitamin D correlate with the extent of the innate immune response during human endotoxemia. …
