1 Calcitriol blunts pro-atherosclerotic parameters through NFkappaB and p38 in vitro. Calcitriol nuclear factor kappa B subunit 1 Homo sapiens
2 Furthermore, the LPS induced nuclear factor kappaB (NFkappaB)-p65 DNA-binding activity was also decreased by calcitriol. Calcitriol nuclear factor kappa B subunit 1 Homo sapiens
3 CONCLUSIONS: The decreased NFkappaB and p38 activities followed by calcitriol treatment may explain the anti-inflammatory/atherosclerotic properties of calcitriol that were observed previously and were emphasized in this study, demonstrating the inhibitory effect of calcitriol on the pro-inflammatory parameters: adhesion molecules, RAGE and IL-6. Calcitriol nuclear factor kappa B subunit 1 Homo sapiens
