近日,来自加拿大麦吉尔大学的研究人员在国际学术期刊plos medicine上发表了一项最新研究进展,他们结合遗传分析和实际观察结果发现低水平的维生素D与多发性硬化发生风险增加有关。多发性硬化是一种可以使人变得非常虚弱,并特定性地针对中枢神经系统白质,导致其脱髓鞘的自身免疫性疾病。这种疾病常见于年龄在20岁到40岁之间的年轻人,到目前为止仍然没有治愈多发性硬化的方法。虽然一些观察证据表明体内低水平的维生素D与多发性硬化发生风险有关,但是由于这些研究中的多发性硬化病人常常同时具有其他可能导致发病风险增加的未知因素,因此很难找到低水平维生素D与多发性
Recently, researchers from Canada’s McGill University published a new research progress in the international academic journal plos medicine. They combined genetic analysis and practical observation to find that low levels of vitamin D are associated with increased risk of multiple sclerosis. Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease that can make people become very weak, and specifically targeted to the white matter of the central nervous system, leading to its demyelination. The disease is common in young people between the ages of 20 and 40, and so far there is no cure for multiple sclerosis. Although some observational evidence suggests that low levels of vitamin D in the body are associated with the risk of multiple sclerosis, it is difficult to find low levels of vitamin D because multiple sclerosis patients in these studies often have other unknown factors that may increase the risk of developing the disease And multiple
