description

Calcium (Ca) metabolism and intestinal Ca absorption have attracted special attention ever since the discovery of vitamin D and the definition of the clinical entities of disturbances of Ca homeostasis in the first three decades of this century. Since then, many details of Ca transport and vitamin D metabolism have accumulated, but only in very recent years have new ideas and findings brought about rapid progress in this field. There is now a startling activity in the investigation of the physiology and pathogenesis of vitamin D and Ca metabolism.
