Vitamin D treatment improves tail fin regeneration. A Representative pictures and quantification of regenerated area of wild type zebrafish tail fins cut at 3-dpf and treated for 2 days either with vehicle or 0.5 nM vitamin D. B Expression levels of cyp27b1, cyp24a1, vdrb, vdra and rarga in whole body, tail and regenerated tail samples from 5-dpf larvae treated for 2 days either with vehicle or 0.5 nM vitamin D. C Expression levels of mpx, il4, and il21 in whole body, tail and regenerated tail samples from 5-dpf larvae treated for 2 days either with vehicle or 0.5 nM vitamin D. D Expression levels of cyp26b1, ucmaa, and sp7 in whole body, tail and regenerated tail samples from 5-dpf larvae treated for 2 days either with vehicle or 0.5 nM vitamin D. Mean ± SEM. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001.
