he activity of dihydrotachysterol and cholecalciferol was determined in nephrectomized or sham-operated vitamin D-depleted rats using in vitro transport of calcium and phosphate by everted intestinal preparations as the index of physiologic response. The activity of dihydrotachysterol was not reduced by absence of the kidneys whereas that of cholecalciferol was markedly inhibited so that at least a 10-fold greater dose of the latter was necessary to produce an equivalent effect in the nephrectomized rat as in the control. Dihydrotachysterol is therefore equipotent with cholecalciferol in the anephric rat although much less active in the intact animal.

Having trouble reading a PDF?
PDFs are designed to be printed out and read, but if you prefer to read them online, you may find it easier if you increase the view size to 125%.
Having trouble saving a PDF?
Many versions of the free Acrobat Reader do not
allow Save. You must instead save the PDF from the JCI Online page you downloaded it from. PC users:
Right-click on the Download link and choose the option that says something like "Save Link As...".
Mac users should hold the mouse button down on the link to get these same options.
Having trouble printing a PDF?
- Try printing one page at a time or to a newer printer.
- Try saving the file to disk before printing rather than opening it "on the fly." This requires that you
configure your browser to "Save" rather than "Launch Application" for the file type "application/pdf", and can
usually be done in the "Helper Applications" options.
- Make sure you are using the latest version of Adobe's Acrobat Reader.
