Effects of prednisolone and vitamin D3 administration on Vdr and Cyp27b1 mRNA expression in bone tissue. Vdr (a) and Cyp27b1 (b) mRNA levels were determined by quantitative RT-PCR in bone tissue of three animal groups: (1) control; (2) prednisolone administration; (3) prednisolone and vitamin D3 administration. mRNA levels were normalized to Gapdh expression. All data are presented as mean ± SEM of three independent experiments done in triplicate; vs. control; vs. prednisolone administration.
