| pubmed-article:189464 | pubmed:abstractText | We studied the cytoplasmic and nuclear binding of 25-hydroxychole-calciferol and 1alpha,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol inside porcine parathyroid glands. Both sterols bind to cytoplasmic components, but a specific nuclear uptake was demonstrated only for 1alpha,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol. These findings support the hypothesis that mammalian parathyroid glands are a target organ for some cholecalciferol metabolites. | lld:pubmed |
