Figure 2 Colonic inflammatory and vitamin D receptor status in control and inflammatory bowel disease patients. Inflammation score (A) and VDR expression (B) for colonic mucosa from control patients, normal appearing mucosa from IBD patients, and visually diseased mucosa from IBD patients (n = 10 per group). Each IBD patient contributed a biopsy from normal appearing mucosa and another biopsy from visually diseased mucosa. VDR: Vitamin D receptor; IBD: Inflammatory bowel disease.
