USE OF 25-HYDROXY VITAMIN D3 TO INCREASE MUSCLE MASS IN MAMMALS

摘要

Myogenesis in mammals can be promoted by a prenatal administration of 25-hydroxy vitamin D3 (25-OH D3). The 25-OH D3 can be administered to the pregnant mother, and the amount of muscle tissue in the offspring is increased relative to control mammals. Optimally, the 25-OH D3 supplements the diet continuously postnatally.
