We therefore examined the effect of 1 25-dihydroxy-vitamin D3 on coagulation and organ failure in experimental sepsis in the rat. Methods Three series of placebo-controlled studies were conducted. All rats were pre-treated with daily SC injections of 1 25-dihydroxy-vitamin D3 100 ng kg or placebo vehicle for 3 days. In study 1 sepsis was accomplished by abdominal surgery comprising a coecal ligation and puncture with a 1 2 mm needle or sham surgery. In study 2 the rats had a single IP injection of lipopolysaccharide from E. Coli 0111 B4 LPS 8 mg kg or placebo. In study 3 an hour-long IV infusion of LPS 7 mg kg or placebo was given. Results All three models of sepsis showed significant effects on coagulation and liver function with reduced thrombocyte count and prothrombin time together with elevated ALT and bilirubin p as compared to controls. In study 1 the vitamin D treated rats maintained normal platelet count whereas the vehicle treated rats showed a significant reduction p . This effect of vitamin D on platelets was not found in the .
