Correlation analysis of 25(OH)D3 levels and Vitamin D receptor concentrations before and after supplementation

	Before supplementation (n=19)		After supplementation (n=19)
	Correlation between
	r	P	r	P
25(OH)D3 with VDR concentration	0.476	0.039*	0.480	0.038*

**Is a standard notation used to determine the level of significance. Pearson’s r value, P<0.05 indicated statistically significant correlation. *P<0.05, **P<0.01, ***P<0.001. There was a statistically significant positive correlation between 25(OH)D3 levels and VDR concentrations before supplementation (P<0.05) as well as after supplementation (P<0.05). NS – Statistically nonsignificant; VDR – Vitamin D receptors; n – Sample size
