Abstract
EARLIER investigations1 in these Laboratories had indicated that vitamin D influenced carbohydrate metabolism in calcifying cartilage of the albino rat. Since carbohydrate and phosphorus metabolism are closely interlinked, the present investigation was undertaken with the view of determining the influence of vitamin D on the phosphorus content of rachitic rat cartilage.
