TABLE 2

Apparent permeability coefficients (Papp × 10–6 cm/s) and net efflux ratio of bidirectional [3H]digoxin and [14C]mannitol transport for 60 min across the Caco-2 cell monolayer Caco-2 cells were treated with 1,25(OH)2D3 (10 and 100 nM) on day 18 for three consecutive days. The transport experiment was performed on day 21 for 60 min. Results are mean ± S.D. in triplicates.
