Abstract excerpt
Recent studies suggest that vitamin D may play a role in intestinal Na(+)-dependent phosphate transport adaptation to variable levels of dietary P(i). Therefore, the goal of the current study was to assess Na(+)-dependent P(i) cotransport activity in transgenic mice to determine whether vitamin D is an essential mediator of this process. Intestinal brush-border membrane (BBM), Na(+)-dependent P(i) cotransport...
