title: Effect of 1 alpha-hydroxycholecalciferol on the skeletal mineral metabolism and bone morphogenesis.
abstract: Administered 1 alpha-OH-D3 is hydrolyzed in liver and then converted to active 1 alpha, 25-(OH)2-D3. An increased serum calcium content was observed in rats administered 1 alpha-OH-D3. No calcium and magnesium increase was noticed in cortical bone due to 1 alpha-OH-D3 administration. Morphogenesis of bone and cartilage in implanted bone matrix in a group of 1 alpha-OH-D3 administered host rats seemed relatively increased to a slight extent.
