Calcium transport and the role of vitamin D

TLDR
The rate-limiting process in vitamin D deficiency appears to be the initial transfer of calcium across the brush border surface into the columnar epithelial cells.

Induction of Intestinal Brush Border Alkaline Phosphatase by Vitamin D and Identity with Ca-ATPase

TL;DR: A comparison of isolated intestinal microvilli from vitamin D deficient and repleted animals might reveal other specific alterations which could be related to the action of vitamin D.

Bone mineral mobilization activity of 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol, a metabolite of vitamin D☆

TL;DR: Actinomycin D given prior to 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol or 25-hydroxycholespecificum D blocks the bone mineral mobilization response in contrast to the previous finding that the intestinal transport response to 1-25- dihydroxchole CalCiferol is insensitive to this antibiotic.

Vitamin D3 and cardiovascular function in rats.

TL;DR: In rats maintained on a vitamin D3-deficient diet for nine weeks, increases in systolic blood pressure and serum creatine phosphokinase (CPK) and serum calcium remained depressed throughout the study, but increases in BP and serum CPK were transient.

The Distinction by Means of Tracers Between Active Transport and Diffusion

TL;DR: It is shown that for a free ion diffusing through a membrane the ratio between the flux in one direction and the simultaneous flux in the opposite direction is independent of the structure of the membrane.

Active transport of Ca45 by the small intestine and its dependence on vitamin D.

TL;DR: Everted gut-sacs prepared from segments of the proximal small intestine of young rabbits, rats and guinea pigs transport Ca45 in vitro from the mucosal to the serosal surfaces against concentration...

Influence of sodium on calcium transport by the rat small intestine.

TL;DR: It is proposed that the changes observed in the transmural potential due to substitution of mannitol or choline chloride for sodium chloride may also occur in vivo and thereby cause the increase in calcium absorption observed after dietary administration of lactose and similar compounds.
