title: The physiology of the vitamin D endocrine system.
abstract: It is clear that the vitamin D endocrine system plays a central role in the maintenance of calcium and phosphate homeostasis. It may be involved in the cellular differentiation and growth of various cells. Investigation of these properties in the future is likely to yield interesting information concerning the biology of this sterol hormone.
