05). In the normal 25-(OH) D group, levels of inflammatory factors and oxidative stress factor were lower than those in the abnormal 25-(OH) D group (P less then 0.05), while the SOD level, total antioxidant capacity and T cell subset counts were higher than those in the abnormal 25-(OH) D group (P less then 0.05). Moreover, the 25-(OH) D level in…[Read more]
