Importantly, deleting these regions affected the response of vitamin D activation to hormones, but not to inflammation - related molecules, indicating that these regions were key to allowing researchers to separately study the two types of calcitriol production. (sciencedaily.com)

Understanding the function of non-kidney calcitriol production and its connection to inflammatory diseases, ranging from multiple sclerosis to arthritis, is of great interest to a number of biomedical researchers, who would like to know whether and how vitamin D could potentially be used to treat these diseases.
