How can you use “vdr” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
To explore the underlying molecular basis of the Fok I polymorphism at the VDR gene locus, as well as the association between vitamin D level and insulin sensitivity, also warrants further study.
In the present study, we report an association between a polymorphism at the translation initiation codon of the human VDR gene and insulin sensitivity in glucose tolerant and normotensive Caucasians.
In this regard, SI, lactase, and the receptor for 1,25 OH-VitD3 (VDR) share transcriptional regulation through the homeodomain transcription factor CDX2 [ 33 34 ] . The possibility that SI or lactase deficiency could cause secondary up-regulation of VDR awaits exploration in cell culture or animal models.
HOMA, Homeostasis Model Assessment; VDR, vitamin D receptor; BMD, bone mineral density; PCR, polymerase chain reaction.
Nonetheless, this study indicates that the Bsm I polymorphism at the VDR gene locus is a risk factor of type 1 diabetes.
