Component

Circulating hCAP18 concentration

Study-defined Circulating hCAP18 concentration. Read each linked record for species, exposure and endpoint.

1 recorded relationships. Experimental role, claim status and evidence remain attached to each record.

How nutrients influence it

Every nutrient with a recorded effect on this component, credited to the nutrient that acted rather than the chapter that recorded it. Open a nutrient to see the findings and the conditions they were measured under.

How nutrients reach it in more than one step

Chains of two or more recorded steps that end here, grouped by the nutrient they start from. Each step is a separate finding, so a chain is a route a mechanism could take, not proof that it does.

What acts on it

  1. The patient D2 supplementation course did not change circulating hCAP concentration, despite improved serum support for the ex-vivo transcript response.

    D2 treatment and paired circulating hCAP assay in the bone-clinic cohort.
    limitations
    Circulating protein and stimulated local transcription are different readouts, so this is not a contradiction.

    A better local cell response did not translate into a higher circulating protein measurement.
