- Vitamin
d, respiratory infections, and asthma - Curr Allergy Asthma Rep. 2009
Jan;9(1):81-7 - "Emerging evidence indicates that
vitamin D-mediated innate immunity, particularly through enhanced expression
of the human cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide (hCAP-18), is important in
host defenses against respiratory tract pathogens. Observational studies
suggest that vitamin D deficiency increases risk of respiratory infections.
This increased risk may contribute to incident wheezing illness in children
and adults and cause asthma exacerbations. Although unproven, the increased
risk of specific respiratory infections in susceptible hosts may contribute
to some cases of incident asthma. Vitamin D also modulates regulatory T-cell
function and interleukin-10 production, which may increase the therapeutic
response to glucocorticoids in steroid-resistant asthma" - See
