Cerebellar levels of CXCL1 (KC) were also significantly decreased in animals dying during the acute phase of the infection and mice killed 20 h after infection when they had received high vitamin D3 supplementation, as compared with animals fed a L-VitD diet (*P < 0.05; Figures 3A, 4C, differences between L-VitD versus S-VitD not significant). The gene discussed is CXCL1; the disease is infection.
