Relationship between intestinal VDR mRNA expression and intestinal inflammation. Relationship between VDR expression and faecal calprotectin in patients with (a) CD and (b) UC; and relationship between VDR mRNA expression and degree of histological remission in patients with (c) CD and (d) UC. Expression is relative to the median of the non-IBD control terminal ileal specimens.
CD, Crohn’s disease; IBD, inflammatory bowel disease; UC, ulcerative colitis; VDR, vitamin D receptor.
