## Abstract Our recent studies have shown that the vitamin D analog Ro‐26‐9228 restores bone mineral density without inducing hypercalcemia in osteopenic rats. Our ex vivo experiments demonstrated that the analog upregulated gene expression in trabecular bone but not in the duodenum of female rats.
The nuclear hormone 1␣,25-dihydroxyvitamin D 3 (VD) has important cell-regulatory functions but also a strong calcemic effect. Therefore, various VD analogues have been synthesized and screened for their biological profile. In order to gain more insight into the molecular basis of the high antiproli
A three-dimensional model for residues 142-427 of the ligand binding domain (LBD) of the human nuclear receptor for 1␣,25-dihydroxy-vitamin D 3 [VDR] has been generated based on the X-ray crystallographic atomic coordinates of the LBD of the rat ␣1 thyroid receptor (TR). The VDR LBD model is an elon
