Abstract
Fifteen acromegalic subjects were found to have elevated plasma levels of both l,25(OH)2-vitamin D, 65 ± 23 (SD) pg/ml [normal 33 + 15 pg/ml (SD)] and 24,25(OH)2-vitamin D, 6.8 ± 1.6 (SD) ng/ml [normal 3.4 + 1.2 ng/ml (SD)]. Treatment with bromocriptine for 6 months reduced the plasma 1,25(OH)2-vitamin D3 level to 40 ± 13 (SD) pg/ml, p2-vitamin D level to 5.4 ± 1.7 (SD) ng/ml, p<0.05.Keywords
