Effects of vitamin D supplementation on alveolar macrophage gene expression
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The objective of the overall study was to determine the effects of oral vitamin D supplementation on alveolar macrophages from human subjects. In this substudy, subjects treated with vitamin D (intervention group) in paired analysis had small, but significant effects on immune-related differential gene expression pre versus post supplementation. In this study, we obtained alveolar macrophages by bronchoalveolar lavage of subjects before and after a 3 month vitamin D trial. RNA for the array was obtained shortly after bronchoscopy. Randomized Controlled Trial: This is a substudy of paired samples of subjects treated with vitamin D. Each sample was studied once. 22 individuals were studied.
