Vitamin D3 and its Other Mechanisms for Controlling Infections
Vitamin D3 and its Other Mechanisms for Controlling InfectionsIn addition to its importance for inducing antimicrobial peptides, studies suggest that Vitamin D may help control infections through other mechanisms. The following study suggests that Vitamin D may be important for controlling intracellular infections by down-regulating tryptophan-aspartate-containing coat protein (TACO) gene expression:
