Abnormal calcium handling and exaggerated cardiac dysfunction in mice with defective vitamin d signaling.

Altered vitamin D signaling is associated with cardiac dysfunction, but the pathogenic mechanism is not clearly understood. We examine the mechanism and the role of vitamin D signaling in the development of cardiac dysfunction.We analyzed 1α-hydroxylase (1α-OHase) knockout (1α-OHase-/-) mice, which...
