| Abstract |
To determine the transdermal absorption of 1,25(OH)2D3 and its effects, 1,25(OH)2D3, solutions were applied drop-wise onto the skin of the ventral root of the tail (1,25(OH)2D3 treatment) of five growing Jersey cattle. The plasma concentrations of 1,25(OH)2D3 in the 1,25(OH)2D3-treated animals increased significantly from 2 hours after the treatment, peaked at 12 hours, and fell thereafter. There was a transient increase in the plasma Ca concentration during 2 to 4 hours post-treatment, and it remained significantly higher during 12 to 72 hours. The iP concentration in the plasma was significantly higher during 24 to 120 hours post-treatment. These observations appear to be evidence for transdermal absorption of 1,25(OH)2D3 and its physiological activity in cattle. |
