Anti-inflammatory and corticosteroid-enhancing actions of vitamin D in monocytes of patients with steroid-resistant and those with steroid-sensitive asthma

VitD demonstrated anti-inflammatory and corticosteroid-enhancing effects in monocytes of patients with SR asthma and patients with SS asthma. However, the responses to corticosteroids in patients with SR asthma remained significantly lower than those in patients with SS asthma.
