1. Vitamin D3 increased ASL antimicrobial activity.
Vitamin D3 increased ASL antimicrobial activity. ASL antimicrobial activity assay. (A) ASL antimicrobial activity at baseline and after vitamin D3 (Baseline vs vitamin D mean±SD, 5980±1201 vs 5399±855.8; 95% CI of the difference −1122 to −40.37; *p= by paired t-test). (B) ASL antimicrobial activity at baseline and after placebo. Placebo treatment did not increase the ASL antimicrobial activity compared to baseline (baseline vs placebo Mean±SD, 6155±1130 vs 5670±1089; 95% CI of the difference −1170 to 198.5; p= by paired t-test). ASL, airway surface liquid; LL-37, human cathelicidin.
