| Popis: | Bedolla-Barajas and colleagues examined vitamin D insufficiency and deficiency in 135 Mexican patients with allergic asthma. Vitamin D insufficiency was common in the group: 25.2 % as well as deficiency: 71.1 %. Noteworthy, there was no difference between genders. There is a growing body of evidence that vitamin D exert a relevant immunomodulatory effect on immune cells, that may be able to explain the close link between vitamin D and respiratory disorders. |
