Swimming behaviour and post-swimming activity in Vitamin D receptor knockout mice.

Brain research bulletin - 15 Mar 2006

Abstract excerpt

Animal experiments have shown that Vitamin D plays a role in both brain development and adult brain function. The adult Vitamin D receptor null mutant mouse (VDR -/-) is reported to be less active and more anxious than wild-type litter mate controls and to have poor swimming ability. However, an "anxious" behavioural phenotype is inferred from differences in locomotor behaviour. This is a general problem in...
