| Abstract | The effects of vitamin D metabolites on alkaline phosphatase [ALPase; orthophosphoric-monoester phosphohydrolase (alkaline optimum), EC 3.1.3.1] activity, a marker of terminal differentiation, in chondrocyte cultures and growth plates in vivo were examined. In cultures of pelleted rabbit growth-plate chondrocytes, 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol (1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3) increased the contents of DNA and macromolecules containing uronic acid (proteoglycans). It also decreased ALPase activity with an ED50 of less than 1 nM. Other vitamin D3 metabolites, such as 24,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol and 25-hydroxycholecalciferol, had little effect on these biochemical parameters. In rachitic growth plates, the uronic acid content was half that in normal growth plates, whereas ALPase activity was 2.5 times that in normal growth plates. Administration of 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol at a low dose (0.1 micrograms per kg of body weight) to rachitic rats increased the uronic acid content 1.4-fold and decreased ALPase activity by 40%. This compound, like 24,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol (10 micrograms per kg of body weight), increased the calcium level of the blood. However, administration of 24,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol had little effect on the uronic acid and ALPase contents in growth plates. These observations suggest that 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol is a bioactive form of vitamin D that plays an important role in the control of chondrocyte terminal differentiation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
