Overview
The overall objective of my research is to characterize the mechanisms by which mineral homeostasis is achieved and skeletal integrity maintained in vertebrate species. This knowledge can then be applied to specific diseases to pinpoint pathogenic mechanisms and develop therapeutic strategies. Current areas of emphasis include:
· Regulation of vitamin D metabolism during pregnancy and lactation.
Using new assays for renal vitamin D hvdroxylase activities, "free" 1,25-
dihydroxyvitamin D and …
