In addition to a role in calcium and phosphate homeostasis other vitamin D receptor (VDR) mediated effects have been discovered during the past few years for the biologically active metabolite of vitamin D, 1,25(OH)2D 3. An antiproliferative, differentiation-inducing effect on nonmalignant and neopl
## Abstract Our recent studies have shown that the vitamin D analog Roβ26β9228 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.
Vitamin D is a potent immune system regulator. The active form of vitamin D (1,25(OH)(2)D(3)) suppresses the development of animal models of human autoimmune diseases. 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) decreased the proliferation of all T helper (h) cells and decreased the production of IFN-gamma, IL-2, and IL-5. In
