title: Effect of 24R,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 in experimental renal insufficiency.
abstract: This placebo-controlled study in JCL-Wistar rats showed that 100 micrograms/kg 24R,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, when given for 12 days consecutively, restored immune function which had deteriorated following aminonucleoside-induced nephrosis. Urinary creatinine excretion in five-sixths nephrectomized rats was also shown to be increased by 10 micrograms/kg 24R,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3. Hypophosphataemic effects in both these cases of experimentally-induced renal insufficiency was also shown following administration of 24R,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3.
