Effect of Vitamin D Supplementation on Serum Cytokines Expression in Lymphatic Filariasis Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Pilot Study
Abstract
Introduction: Introduction: More than 100 million population worldwide are infected with one of the three lymph-dwelling filariae (Wuchereria bancrofti, Brugia malayi or B. timori), the major causative agents of lymphatic filariasis (LF). The disease burden from LF is concentrated in tropical and sub-tropical countries (such as India) where the prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is the greatest. Uncontrolled T2DM manifests as chronic low-grade inflammation and leads to alteration of the functioning of the innate immune system. Active vitamin D hormone promotes innate immune response in antigen-presenting cells.
