Abstract
These data support the multifactorial IBS pathogenesis in which organic and psychological factors interact. An active role by VD, 5-HT, and BDNF in affecting the clinical and biochemical profiles in IBS-D(S+) patients may be conceivable. Therefore, the routine VD estimation and the assay of circulating levels of 5-HT and BDNF could be considered a new approach for managing these patients.
