Changes in vitamin D target gene expression in adipose tissue monitor the vitamin D response of human individuals
27 Jun 2014
Abstract excerpt
SCOPE: Vitamin D₃, its biologically most active metabolite 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D₃ (1,25(OH)₂D₃), and the vitamin D receptor (VDR) are important for adipose tissue biology. METHODS AND RESULTS: We extrapolated genomic VDR association loci in adipocytes from 55 conserved genome-wide VDR-binding sites in nonfat tissues. Taking the genes DUSP10, TRAK1, NRIP1, and THBD as examples, we confirmed the predicted VDR...
