Abstract
Vitamin D3, 25(OH) vitamin D3 and 1,25 (OH)2D3 were administered daily to unfed male Bufo andersoni for 15 days which resulted in a significant hypercalcemia and hyperphosphatemia in a dose-dependent fashion. 1,25(OH)2D3 is more potent than the other metabolites. The treatment activated ultimobranchial gland but induced degenerative changes in parathyroid of the toads.
