Decreased Anti-Inflammatory Responses to Vitamin D in Neonatal Neutrophils

Neutrophil activity is prolonged in newborns, suggesting decreased exposure and/or responses to immunosuppressive modulators, such as 1,25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25-vit D3). We hypothesized that 1,25-vit D3 suppresses neutrophil activation and that this response is impaired in newborns. Consistent wit...
