Plasma levels of vitamin D and some metabolites in marine mammals
Levels of vitamin D, 25-hydroxyvitamin D, 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, and calcium were determined in the plasma of various captive and wild pinniped and cetacean species. Vitamin D (< 0.4–5 ng∙mL −1 ) and 25-hydroxyvitamin D (4–84 ng∙mL −1 ) levels in the pinniped plasma were similar to those f...
