Whether treatment with vitamin D receptor activators contributes to cardiovascular disease in patients with chronic kidney disease is a matter of debate. We studied mechanisms involved in vitamin D-related vascular calcifications in vivo and in vitro.

    Neuropharmacology (2013) PMID 23643749

    We recently reported that D3 receptor-knockout (D3(-/-)) mice display increased vulnerability to cocaine self-administration, which we interpret as a compensatory response to attenuated cocaine reward after D3R deletion. Here we report that D3(-/-) mice displayed attenuated cocaine-induced condition...

    Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci (2013) PMID 23640042

    These data suggest that HB-EGF plays a pivotal role in light-induced photoreceptor degeneration. It therefore warrants investigation as a potential therapeutic target for such light-induced retinal diseases as age-related macular degeneration....

    J Vet Med Sci (2013) PMID 23648376

    We mainly investigate the effects of static magnetic field (SMF) (128 mT, 1 hr/day during 5 consecutive days) on 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 and calcium homeostasis. Wistar male rats, weighing 50-70 g, were randomly divided into four experimental groups: control, SMF-exposed rat, co-exposed rats (the last...
