Correlation between plasma levels of 25 hydroxyvitamin D3 [25(OH)D3)] or 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2D3] and AUC and peak plasma cytokines
| AUC TNF-α | Peak TNF-α | AUC IL-6 | Peak IL-6 | AUC IL-10 | Peak IL-10 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 25(OH)D3 | −0·06 (0·50) | −0·04 (0·69) | −0·03 (0·78) | −0·06 (0·52) | 0·13 (0·17) | 0·14 (0·16) |
| 1,25(OH)2D3 | 0·06 (0·55) | 0·11 (0·25) | −0·07 (0·50) | −0·05 (0·61) | 0·13 (0·19) | 0·09 (0·36) |
Spearman's correlation coefficients (P-value) of 112 subjects are listed. AUC: area under the curve of plasma cytokines in time; IL: interleukin; TNF: tumour necrosis factor.
