  • Title: Stimulation of D-glucose transport. A novel effect of vitamin D on intestinal membrane transport.
    Author: Peterlik M, Fuchs R, Cross HS.
    Journal: Biochim Biophys Acta; 1981 Nov 20; 649(1):138-42. PubMed ID: 6272857.
    Abstract:
    Vitamin D stimulates absorption of D-glucose in chick jejunum and ileum by a specific action on the maximal velocity of Na+-gradient driven D-glucose transport across the brush-border membrane of intestinal cells. Induction of D-glucose transport by either vitamin D-3 or 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D-3 in embryonic intestine can be blocked by inhibitors of RNA and protein synthesis.
