Effect of vitamin D metabolites on bone histomorphometry in healthy black and white women: An attempt to unravel the so-called vitamin D paradox in blacks

An apparent vitamin D paradox, characterized by lower serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) levels and higher bone mineral density, is present in black population. In contrast, blacks have higher serum 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25(OH)2D) levels. The effect of 1,25(OH)2D on the skeleton is not fully u...
