1 Jul 2000
Abstract excerpt
Although accumulating data show that placenta is able to synthesize 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, the presence of cytochrome P(450) enzyme capable of converting 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (250HD(3)) to the biologically active form of vitamin D in this tissue, has not been yet clearly established. In this study, we have investigated the presence of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 1alpha-hydroxylase (1alpha-(OH)ase) gene expression...
