Non ‐classical monocytes frequency and serum vitamin D3 levels are linked to diabetic foot ulcer associated with peripheral artery disease

ConclusionsNon-classical monocytes frequency and vitamin  D3 levels were significantly reduced in DFU patients with PAD. Non-classical monocytes frequency was associated with vitamin  D3 in DFUs patients, and both parameters were linked to lipid profile. Vitamin  D3 upregulation was a risk-reducing factor for PAD occurrence.
