The present study investigates the presence of vitamin D receptor (VDR) in cells of the rat oligodendrocyte (OL) lineage. VDR transcripts were detected by in situ hybridization in a fraction of rat OL in secondary cultures. The VDR protein was shown to be co-localized in cells that are also recogniz

Differentiation and proliferation can be regulated in diverse cell types by 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D 3 . These effects derive from modulation of gene expression mediated by the interaction of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D 3 with the vitamin D receptor (VDR). The VDR is one of the nuclear hormone receptors.
A number of recent clinical observations suggest that vitamin D 3 plays an important role in maintaining normal cardiovascular function, either directly through its receptor in cardiac muscle, or indirectly through its infuence on circulating levels of calcium or on other regulatory factors. By usin
