Serum calcium and 25(OH)D3 levels in female C57Bl/6J mice
Total serum Ca (mg/dL) | Serum 25(OH)D3 (ng/mL) | |||
---|---|---|---|---|
D‐deficient | D‐sufficient | D‐deficient | D‐sufficient | |
After vitamin D depletion | 7.1 ± 0.2 | 8.9 ± 0.1* | ND | ND |
At the time of infection | 9.9 ± 0.1 | 10.0 ± 0.1 | 0† | 22 ± 3* |
Statistically different from D‐deficient mice (p < 0.05).
Limit of detection is <4 ng/mL.
