Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] can mediate effects without being converted to 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D [1,25(OH)2D]. METHODS: Vitamin D3 (VD3) was injected intramuscularly to 25-hydroxyvitamin D-1α-hydroxylase [1α(OH)ase] gene knockout (KO) male mice with a dose of 10,000 IU per week for 4 weeks. Skeleton Parameters and Serum biochemistry in mice were assayed. RESULTS: Serum...
