According to the study of "The role of retinoic acid in tolerance and immunity" by Hall JA, Grainger JR, Spencer SP, Belkaid Y., posted in US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health, researchers indicated that we will prvide a crucial contributions of RA to both immunological tolerance and the elicitation of adaptive immune responses and acomprehensive overview of the cell types and factors that control the production of RA and discuss how host perturbations may affect the ability of this metabolite to control tolerance and immunity or to instigate pathology.

Vitamin D and Cardiovascular diseases
Posted by Chantel M. Contributed by US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health
In the study of `Systematic review: Vitamin D and calcium supplementation in prevention of cardiovascular event` by Wang L, Manson JE, Song Y, Sesso HD., posted in US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health, researcher found that evidence from limited data suggests that vitamin D supplements at moderate to high doses may reduce CVD risk, whereas calcium supplements seem to have minimal cardiovascular effects. Further research is needed to elucidate the role of these supplements in CVD prevention.

According to the study of `Vitamin D in atopic dermatitis, asthma and allergic diseases`by Searing DA, Leung DY., posted in US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health, researchers found that laboratory evidence supporting links between vitamin D deficiency and allergic diseases, the clinical evidence for and against vitamin D playing a role in allergic diseases, and the emerging evidence regarding the potential use of vitamin D to augment the innate immune response in atopic dermatitis are reviewed.

vitamin D and muscle atrophy
Posted by Chantel M. Contributed by US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health
According to the study of "Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D and muscle atrophy in the elderly" by Dawson-Hughes B., posted in US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health, researcher found that doses up through 15 μg (600 IU) were ineffective and doses of 17·5-25 μg/d (700-1000 IU/d) significantly lowered fall risk. The minimal 25-hydroxyvitamin D level needed for benefit was 60 nmol/l.

Posted by Chantel M. Contributed by US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health
According to the study of "1α,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 inhibits osteoblastic differentiation of mouse periodontal fibroblasts" by Chen YC, Ninomiya T, Hosoya A, Hiraga T, Miyazawa H, Nakamura H, posted in US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health, researchers found that VD(3) negatively regulates the osteoblastic differentiation of mouse periodontal fibroblasts and prevents the periodontal ligament from mineralization via increase of PLAP-1.

Vitamin D and lung inflammatory factors
Posted by Chantel M. Contributed by US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health
In the study of "[Effect of early Vitamin D supplementation on lung inflammatory factors in baby rat with asthma].[Article in Chinese]" by Liu PY, Chen X, Jiang ZQ, Leng L, Wang XQ, Ji GY. by US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health, researchers found that Intervention with appropriate dose of 1,25-(OH)(2)VitD(3) in the early life could improve lung pathologic changes and reduce the effect of inflammatory factors in air way of baby rat asthma model. However, overdose might play detrimental effect.
