Vitamin D receptor silencing impairs the 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D₃-stimulated phosphorus absorption by suppressing NaPi-IIb gene expression in primary duodenal epithelial cells of broilers. [PDF]

Poult Sci
Our previous study detected the potential regulatory role of vitamin D receptor (VDR) in 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D 3 (1,25-(OH) 2 D 3 )-stimulated phosphorus (P) absorption and the type IIb sodium-phosphate cotransporter (NaPi-IIb) gene expression in the ...
