Vitamin D Compounds in Human and Bovine Milk

  • Chapter
Advances in Nutritional Research

Part of the book series: Advances in Nutritional Research ((ANUR,volume 4))

Abstract

During the past decade considerable progress has been made toward an understanding of the transport, measurement, distribution, and molecular action of the antirachitic sterols. As a result of these major advances in our knowledge of vitamin D, many excellent reviews have been written dealing with each of these specific areas of study (Lawson and Emtage, 1974; Favus, 1978; DeLuca and Schnoes, 1976; J. G. Haddad, Jr., this volume).

This work was supported by grants from the Veterans Administration and a National Institutes of Health Fellowship (AM 06403) to B. W. Hollis.
