1 The effect of OCT on osteocalcin secretion and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity in ROS 17/2.8 cells was also determined. maxacalcitol bone gamma-carboxyglutamate protein Rattus norvegicus
2 Pretreatment for 24 h with either 1,25-(OH)2D3 or OCT resulted in a dose-dependent enhancement of osteocalcin secretion. maxacalcitol bone gamma-carboxyglutamate protein Rattus norvegicus
3 Thus, OCT, like 1,25-(OH)2D3, up-regulates the vitamin D receptor, stimulates osteocalcin secretion, and increases ALP activity in ROS 17/2.8 cells, suggesting that the analog may be as active as 1,25-(OH)2D3 in stimulating bone formation in vivo. maxacalcitol bone gamma-carboxyglutamate protein Rattus norvegicus
