Descrição
Vitamin D's influence on inflammatory bowel disease development is depicted through three interconnected pathways: intestinal immune regulation, microbiota composition, and mucosal barrier integrity.

Figure 1
Vitamin D's multifaceted role as an immune modulator is discussed, noting that nearly all immune cells express the vitamin D receptor and that deficiency is closely correlated with increased susceptibility to immune-mediated diseases.

Figure 2
Vitamin D impacts on innate and adaptive immunity are illustrated, showing inhibition of LPS-induced p38 activation, suppression of IL-6 and TNF-alpha by monocytes, and downregulation of TLR-9 expression in immune cells.
