  • Well, I think it's people with low vitamin D levels that are likely to get sick in the first place, and that's what this paper is about, and that's what this paper argues for strongly, and in my view, convincingly. (vitamindwiki.com)

  • Although A375 and SK-MEL-28 express appreciable levels of what appears to be a transcriptionally competent VDR, downstream transcriptional effects of VDR within our study remained overall muted with the exception of the 1,25D3-sensitive target gene CYP24 that catabolises 1,25D3 to its inactive form.

  • Am I descended from a person who had this mutation, and subsequently passed on this mutation to all people with blue eyes living today? (thetech.org)
  • The quick answers are: 1) blue eyes probably came from more than one ancestor, 2) mutations are random, and 3) blue-eyed people may have survived better in areas with less light because of our need for vitamins. (thetech.org)
  • So blue eyes came about because a few different people got random mutations that happened to make them have blue eyes. (thetech.org)
