<jats:p> Dietary strontium inhibits both the synthesis of 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol and intestinal calcium absorption in vitamin D <jats:sub>3</jats:sub> -repleted chicks. 1,25-Dihydroxycholecalciferol restores calcium absorption to normal, while 25-hydroxycholecalciferol is without effect in the strontium-fed chick. It is suggested that strontium induces rickets by blocking the biosynthesis of 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol, the metabolically active form of vitamin D in the intestine. </jats:p>
