Design of the trial in mouse model. Vehicle, vitamin D3, and L. paracasei DG cells were administered to mice by gavage. Vehicle consisted of an aqueous solution of sucrose 20% + glycerol 10% (w/vol). Bacterial cells were suspended in the same vehicle. *500 IU of vitamin D3 in refined olive oil (DIBASE) were administered per single gavage. **108 CFUs of L. paracasei DG were administered per single gavage
