Twenty-one-day-old BALB/c mice were shaved on the back to synchronize hair growth. On day 30 or 31, when at least 90% of mice exhibited hair regrowth in the shaved area, 1,25(OH)2D3 was applied topically to the shaved area daily for 5 days. On the 6th day, cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan, CTX) was injecte
## Abstract Leptin is the __LEP__ (__ob__) gene product secreted by adipocytes. We previously reported that leptin decreases renal expression of the 25‐hydroxyvitamin D~3~ 1α‐hydroxylase (__CYP27B1__) gene through the leptin receptor (ObRb) by indirectly acting on the proximal tubules. This study f
