VDBP, 25(OH)D3, and 1,25(OH)2D3 serum levels were notably downregulated in the sepsis patients. a–c Serum levels of VDBP, 25(OH)D3, and 1,25(OH)2D3 in healthy volunteer group (NC, n = 50), sepsis non-survivor group [sepsis (d), n = 35], and sepsis survivor group [sepsis (s), n = 43] were measured by using the corresponding ELISA kits. Compared with healthy volunteer group, ***P < 0.001; compared with sepsis survivor group, #P < 0.05, ##P < 0.01 and ###P < 0.001. d–f Correlation between VDBP and 1,25(OH)2D3 (P > 0.05), VDBP and 25(OH)D3 (P < 0.001), or 1,25(OH)2D3 and 25(OH)D3 (P > 0.05).
