Science, 1973•science.orgRats maintained on a low phosphorus diet supplemented with 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 show
high intestinal calcium transport activity as compared to rats similarly treated but fed a diet
containing adequate phosphorus. This increased transport activity is correlated with an
increased biosynthesis of 1, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, the probable metabolically active form
of the vitamin in the intestine.
