Abstract

Vitamin D is generally accepted as being essential for life in higher animals. It is one of the most important biological regulators of calcium and phosphorus metabolism. Along with the two peptide hormones PTH and calcitonin, vitamin D is responsible for the minute-to-minute as well as the day-to-day establishment and maintenance of calcium homeostasis.
