The 25(OH)D level in serum of mice
| Group | Mean (ng/mL) | Standard deviation |
|---|---|---|
| Negative control | 15.769 | 2.564 |
| VD control | 22.385# | 2.429 |
| DMBA model | 13.692* | 1.289 |
| 4-week VD (initiation) | 15.769 | 2.564 |
| 8-week VD (promotion) | 16.076 | 2.311 |
| 20-week VD (initiation + promotion) | 16.769#,Δ | 1.918 |
Notes: Compared with negative control group, the 25(OH)D level of serum in DMBA model was significantly decreased (*P<0.05), while that in VD control and 20-week VD significantly increased (#P<0.05). Compared with DMBA model, the 25(OH)D level in 20-week VD was dramatically increased (ΔP<0.01).
Abbreviations: DMBA, 7, 12-dimethylbenz [a] anthracene; VD, vitamin D3.
