Impact of vitamin D deficiency on pulmonary function. (A) Airway resistance measured with flexiVent was significantly higher in mice born to vitamin D–deficient dams (Pre-Def/Post-Def) compared with those born to vitamin D–sufficient dams (Pre-Suff/Post-Suff) at 4 weeks (P < 0.01), and continued to increase at 8 weeks (P < 0.0001) (brackets represent the differences). (B) Pulmonary compliance was initially not significantly different in Pre-Def/Post-Def and Pre-Suff/Post-Suff mice at the 4-week measurement (P > 0.05) but became significantly decreased (worse) in the deficient (Pre-Def/Post-Def) group by 8 weeks of age (P < 0.0001).
