Vitamin D Receptor <i>Fok-I</i> Polymorphism Modulates Diabetic Host Response to Vitamin D Intake

Abstract

We concluded that those of VDR ff genotype may be regarded as "low responders" to vitamin D intake in terms of response of circulating 25(OH)D and certain inflammatory biomarkers. A nutrigenetic approach may, therefore, be needed to protect diabetic patients from vitamin D deficiency.
