We and others have previously shown that selected vitamin D analogs potentiate the vitamin D receptor (VDR) mediated transcription much more efficiently than the natural hormone itself. Here we show that the transcriptionally active 20-epi analogs, namely KH 1060 and MC 1288, protect VDR against deg

## Abstract The biologically active metabolite of vitamin D, 1,25‐dihydroxyvitamin D~3~ (1,25(OH)~2~D~3~) is a secosteroid whose genomic mechanism of action is similar to that of other steroid hormones and is mediated by stereospecific interaction of 1,25(OH)~2~D~3~ with the vitamin D receptor (VDR
## Abstract Rickets and hyperparathyroidism caused by a defective Vitamin D receptor (VDR) can be prevented in humans and animals by high calcium intake, suggesting that intestinal calcium absorption is critical for 1,25(OH)~2~ vitamin D [1,25‐(OH)~2~D~3~] action on calcium homeostasis. We assessed
