- Abstract
The active form of vitamin D3, 1 alpha,25 dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25D3), through its interaction with vitamin D receptors (VDR), is reported to effect a variety of anabolic and catabolic events, especially in bone and cartilage tissues. As cartilage degradation and tissue remodelling are characteristic features of the rheumatoid lesion, the distribution and expression of VDR at sites of cartilage erosion was examined.
