Cover Story: Vitamin’s D active metabolite, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, has multiple functions in bone health and in the immune system. Much of the data about vitamin D come from studies in mice. Although humans and mice share many similarities in their genomes, anatomy, and physiology, there are also differences, and the regulation of vitamin D receptor gene expression is one of them. The cause of this difference is not clear, but it might be important that humans in their natural environment were able to abundantly synthesize vitamin D in their skin, while mice had this ability limited as a result of being covered with fur and spending daylight hours underground.
