Abstract: | Vitamin D metabolites and analogs induce synthesis of a specific calcium-binding protein in embryonic chick duodenum maintained in organ culture. Using calcium-binding protein biosynthesis as a specific and sensitive biochemical indicator of intrinsic biopotency, 24,24-difluoro-1α,25-dihydroxy vitamin D3 was found to be approximately four times more potent on a molar basis than the most active, naturally occurring metabolite, 1α,25-dihydroxy vitamin D3. |
