• "Nav2 hypomorphic mutant mice are ataxic and exhibit abnormalities in cerebellar development"

McNeill EM, Klockner-Bormann M, Roesler EC et al., Developmental Biology 353 (2): 331-343 May 2011.

• "The Vitamin D Analogue 2MD Increases Bone Herein we show that hypomorphic mutant mice lacking the full-length Nav2 transcript exhibit ataxia and defects in cerebellar development. At embryonic day (E)17.5, the mutant cerebellum is reduced in size and exhibits defects in vermal foliation.Turnover but Not BMD in Postmenopausal Women With Osteopenia: Results of a 1-Year Phase 2 Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Randomized Clinical Trial"

DeLuca HF, Bedale W, Binkley N, et al., Journal of Bone and Mineral Research 26(3): 538-545 Mar 2011. In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of osteopenic women, the effect of daily oral treatment with 2MD on bone mineral density (BMD), serum markers of bone turnover, and safety were assessed over 1 year.

• "Vitamin A Deficiency Results in Meiotic Failure and Accumulation of Undifferentiated Spermatogonia in Prepubertal Mouse Testis"

Li H, Baehr W, Clagett-Dame M, et al., Biology of Reproduction 84(2): 336-341. In the present study, we found that vitamin A depletion markedly decreased testicular expression of the all-trans retinoic acid-responsive gene, Stra8, and caused meiotic failure in prepubertal male mice lacking lecithin.

• "Vitamin A Deficiency Results in Meiotic Failure and Accumulation of Undifferentiated Spermatogonia in Prepubertal Mouse Testis"

Li H, Palczewski K, Baehr W et al., Biology of Reproduction 84 (2): 336-341 Feb 2011. In the present study, we found that vitamin A depletion markedly decreased testicular expression of the all-trans retinoic acid-responsive gene, Stra8, and caused meiotic failure in prepubertal male mice lacking lecithin: retinol acyltransferase (Lrat), encoding for the major enzyme in liver responsible for the formation of retinyl esters.
