Vitamin D Receptor category has the following

384 studies in Vitamin D Receptor category

Vitamin D tests cannot detect Vitamin D Receptor (VDR) problems
A poor VDR restricts Vitamin D from getting in the cells
It appears that 30% of the population have a poor VDR (40% of the Obese )

A poor VDR increases the risk of 55 health problems  click here for details
The risk of 44 diseases at least double with poor Vitamin D Receptor as of Oct 2019

VDR at-home test $29 - results not easily understood in 2016
There are hints that you may have inherited a poor VDR

Compensate for poor VDR by increasing one or more:

IncreasingIncreases
1) Vitamin D supplement
  Sun, Ultraviolet -B
Vitamin D in the blood
and thus in the cells
2) MagnesiumVitamin D in the blood
 AND in the cells
3) Omega-3 Vitamin D in the cells
4) Resveratrol Vitamin D Receptor
5) Intense exercise Vitamin D Receptor
6) Get prescription for VDR activator
   paricalcitol, maxacalcitol?
Vitamin D Receptor
7) Quercetin (flavonoid) Vitamin D Receptor
8) Zinc is in the VDRVitamin D Receptor
9) BoronVitamin D Receptor ?,
etc
10) Essential oils e.g. ginger, curcuminVitamin D Receptor
11) ProgesteroneVitamin D Receptor
12) Infrequent high concentration Vitamin D
Increases the concentration gradient
Vitamin D in the cells
13) Sulfroaphone and perhaps sulfurVitamin D Receptor

Note: If you are not feeling enough benefit from Vitamin D, you might try increasing VDR activation. You might feel the benefit within days of adding one or more of the above

Far healthier and stronger at age 72 due to supplements Includes 6 supplements which help the VDR

Vitamin D (VitD) is critical for the regulation of inflammatory processes, and VitD deficiency has been linked to several chronic inflammatory disorders. We aimed to investigate the concentrations of serum 25(OH)D3, lipid parameters, and three known VDR polymorphisms (BsmI, FokI, and TaqI) in patients with Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF), an autosomal recessive autoinflammatory disease. The study included 123 FMF patients and 105 controls.

A total of 38 patients were in acute attacks at the time of investigation. Serum 25(OH)D3 concentrations were determined using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. BsmI, FokI, and TaqI polymorphisms were analyzed by a competitive allele specific polymerase chain reaction assay (KASPar). Serum lipid parameters were measured with enzymatic colorimetric methods. 25(OH)D3 concentrations were lower in FMF patients compared to controls (p < 0.001).

No difference was observed in 25(OH)D3 concentration between patients with acute attack and those in attack-free period (p = 0.193). The distributions of FokI and TaqI genotypes were not significantly different between FMF patients and controls. There was a significant difference in the distribution of AA BsmI genotype between male FMF patients and male controls. Increased concentrations of triglycerides (p = 0.012) and decreased concentrations of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol [HDL-C] (p = 0.006) were found in FMF patients compared to controls. Although lower 25(OH)D3 concentrations were observed in FMF patients versus controls, no association was determined between FMF attack frequency and 25(OH)D3 concentrations. We showed that the AA genotype of BsmI polymorphism is associated with FMF in males but not in females. The effects of decreased HDL-C and increased triglyceride concentrations on cardiovascular events in FMF patients should be further investigated.

Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by recurrent fever and inflammatory attacks. The aim of our study is to evaluate the growth parameters in Egyptian children with FMF and to investigate vitamin D status (serum 25-(OH) D) and some oxidative stress biomarkers during the attack free period in relation to the disease severity. Cases were classified into mild and moderate according to disease severity. Fifty Egyptian children with FMF (25 males and 25 females) and 35 age and sex-matched healthy controls were enrolled in this study. Serum paraoxonase1, malondialdehyde and Serum 25-(OH) D were estimated. Z-scores of weight, height and body mass index were calculated.
Of the 50 patients with FMF, 20 (40%) had mild degree of severity and 30 (60%) with moderate degree of severity. The homozygous genotypes mutations of M694I and M694I + M680I were the most frequent (52% and 26%, respectively).
Normal growth pattern was detected in both sexes. Serum PON1 and 25-(OH) D were significantly lower in FMF patients than the control group.
On the other hand, during the attack free periods serum level of MDA was significantly higher in the moderate group compared to the mild group while PON1 was significantly lower in moderate group. The study suggests persistence of oxidative stress in FMF children during the attack free period.
Vitamin D was significantly low in FMF patients. The study recommends the fortification with vitamin D and antioxidant parameters in the FMF patients.
