Abstract excerpt
Osteopetrosis describes a heterogeneous group of inherited, metabolic bone disorders characterized by reduced bone resorption which coexists with elevated circulating levels of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D [1,25(OH)2D]. To determine whether or not skeletal sclerosis and high concentrations of 1,25(OH)2D are interdependent, this study used two distinct, nonallelic osteopetrotic mutations in the rat, osteopetrosis (op)...
