Abstract
Objectives: The primary objective of this study was to define the relationship between vitamin D levels and interleukins (IL) 1β and 6 as inflammatory markers in a healthy population. As a secondary objective, to measure the prevalence of insufficiency/ deficiency of vitamin D in the same population.
Methods: A sample of 43 healthy blood donors, without chronic-degenerative, inflammatory, or infectious diseases, and without obesity, was selected. Serum levels of IL-1β and IL-6 were measured in individuals with insufficiency or deficiency of vitamin D. The correlation between vitamin D and interleukins was measured using Spearman's rho.
Results: No correlation was found between levels of vitamin D and interleukins. In addition, a prevalence of insufficiency/deficiency of vitamin D was found in 95.3% of the sample.
Conclusions: In healthy subjects with deficiency or insufficiency of vitamin D, there is no association between the levels of this vitamin and IL-1β and IL-6.
