Year	2015
Title	Vitamin D supplementation up-regulates IL-6 and IL-17A gene expression in multiple sclerosis patients

Results of multiple sclerosis :

Result	Significant up-regulation of IL-6 and IL-17A gene expression was shown under vitamin D treatment.
Mechanism/pathway	Vitamin D regulates gene expression and affects target cell functions. IL-6 and IL-17A are pro-inflammatory cytokines associated with MS pathogenesis.
