PMID: 28938396
Although the intestine plays the major role in 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2D3] action on calcium homeostasis, the mechanisms involved remain incompletely understood. The established model of 1,25(OH)2D3-regulated intestinal calcium absorption postulates...

PMID: 23642206
Early studies identifying vitamin D as an antirachitic factor led to studies in vitamin D-deficient models that resulted in a basic understanding of the mechanism of action of vitamin D....

PMID: 21664413
The principal function of vitamin D in calcium homeostasis is to increase calcium absorption from the intestine. Calcium is absorbed by both an active transcellular pathway, which is energy dependent,...
