Serum 25 (OH) D and nuclear VDR level. During the VDD group, animals were fed with vitamin D deficient fodder. During the Ctrl group, animals were fed with standard fodder. All animals except controls were injected with BLM (1.5 mg/kg) through the trachea. All animals were sacrificed 2 weeks after BLM. a Serum 25(OH) D concentrations were estimated using RIA. b and c Nuclear VDR was estimated using Western blot. All experiments were repeated for 3 times. Data were expressed as means ± SEM (N = 6). ** P < 0.01
