1 RESULTS: Serum vitamin A level was lower in CF subjects than in controls (mean, 95% CI: 1.29, 1.0-1.37 vs. 1.80, 1.7-1.87 micromol/l, p < 0.0001), and inversely correlated with CRP (r(s) = -0.37, p < 0.0001). Vitamin A C-reactive protein Homo sapiens
2 CF subjects with low vitamin A (45%) level had poorer FEV(1), weight z-score, LSBMD z-score, and higher CRP compared with those with normal levels. Vitamin A C-reactive protein Homo sapiens
3 In the CF group CRP, vitamin E, 1,25(OH)(2)D, presence of CFLD, admissions, and age were associated with vitamin A level. Vitamin A C-reactive protein Homo sapiens
4 CONCLUSIONS: Serum vitamin A is negatively associated with CRP in subjects with CF, consistent with normal population studies. Vitamin A C-reactive protein Homo sapiens
