The vitamin D receptor (VDR) mediates the pleiotropic biologic effects of 1alpha,25
dihydroxy-vitamin D3. Recent in vitro studies suggested that curcumin and poly-unsaturated fatty
acids (PUFAs) also bind to VDR with low affinity. As potential ligands for the VDR, we hypothesized
that curcumin and PUFAs would induce expression of known...
