August 2015 in “The Journal of Steroid Biochemistry and Molecular Biology” This study found that in a mouse model with hereditary 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D resistant rickets, a mutant vitamin D receptor lacking hormone-binding ability could restore normal hair cycling and affect parathyroid hormone regulation.
May 2024 in “Endocrine practice” In this case report, researchers identified Vitamin A toxicity as the cause of refractory hypercalcemia in a nonverbal patient, emphasizing the difficulty of diagnosing this rare condition due to its nonspecific symptoms.
April 2023 in “Neurology” This study examined treatments for emesis in young Alexander disease patients, finding that 95% responded positively to valproic acid, which was more effective than anti-reflux medications or cyproheptadine, though some adverse effects require monitoring.
July 2023 in “Assiut Veterinary Medical Journal/Maǧallaẗ Asyūṭ al-ṭibiyyaẗ al-baytariyyaẗ” The research investigated the effects of antiandrogens on neurodevelopmental milestones in rats exposed to valproic acid during pregnancy, finding that while valproic acid delayed sensorimotor reflexes, it didn't impact physical development milestones, and antiandrogens partially mitigated these delays.
In this study, researchers assessed vitamin D3 levels in adolescents, finding a suboptimal average of 22.00 ng/ml, and demonstrated that supplementing with 1000 IU/day of vitamin D3 significantly raised levels and improved physical and mental potential over two months.
