Subject: Vitamin D in furry animalsDear colleagues,A Christmas poser....If animals are covered in fur how do they make Vitamin D?Could this explain why dogsand cats rarely live into their 20s?Seriously though, I have read that they synthesise Vit D in their fur (which is absorbed when they are groomed?) but if this is true how come humans don't synthesise Vit D in hair if we are descended from the apes?Happy Christmas!Sean MaguireMater Hospital,Dublin.------ACB discussion List Information-------- This is an open discussion list for the academic and clinical community working in clinical biochemistry.
