Abstract
In vitro evidence presently favors a direct osteolytic effect of biologically active vitamin D metabolites. Studies were designed to evaluate the effect of 25-hydroxycholecalciferol (25OHD3) on bone collagen and mineral maturation in vivo and its dependence on parathyroid hormone (PTH). After treatment of sham-operated control and parathyroidectomized (PTX) mature rats with either 25OHD3 or an oil vehicle for 2 wk, tibial bone mineral-collagen maturation was quantitated by bromoform-toluene density gradient fractionation techniques. Intestinal calcium absorption was measured by in vivo 45Ca transport procedures. In contrast to the control group, the response to 25OHD3 of PTX rats was dramatic. Bone mineral and matrix maturation were both accelerated by 25OHD3 treatment without concomitant reduction in total bone mineral or collagen content or changes in the intestinal calcium absorption. These observations support the premise that biologically active vitamin D metabolites stimulate bone tissue maturation, and that PTH is not required in this regard.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.
Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
