Abstract

Influence of lαOHD3 and 24,25(OH)2D3 on bone, skin, cartilage collagen's aminoacid composition and hydrocarbon component contents was studied in experiments on chickens. Vitamin D3, 1 αOHD3 and 24,25 (OH) 2D3 markedly changed these indices and characters of their effects were similar. But influence of lαOHD3 and 24,25(OH)2D3 on contents of some aminoacids and hydrocarbon component (in skin) more looked like the effect of rickets.
