Characterization of the autocrine/paracrine function of vitamin D in human gingival fibroblasts and periodontal ligament cells.
BACKGROUND: We previously demonstrated that 25-hydroxyvitamin D(3), the precursor of 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3), is abundant around periodontal soft tissues. Here we investigate whether 25-hydroxyvitamin D(3) is converted to 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) in periodontal soft tissue cells and explore t...
