Figure 5. . Analysis of the expression patterns of GDF15 mRNA.

Figure 5. 

GDF15 mRNA expression was significantly downregulated investigated in from AA subjects compared with EA subjects. In AA subjects receiving vitamin D3 supplementation, GDF15 mRNA expression was significantly upregulated relative to those receiving Pl. In EA subjects receiving vitamin D3 supplementation, GDF15 mRNA expression was upregulated (although not significantly) relative to those receiving placebo.

AA: African–American; EA: European–American: PI: Placebo; VitD: Vitamin D.
