Vitamin D action : Lessons learned from genetic mouse models.

abstract：:Patients with vascular dementia are frequently encountered in Japan reaching nearly 50% of those with senile dementia, which is equal to or even slightly higher than patients with Alzheimer's disease. This contrasts with a much lower ratio of patients with vascular dementia in the United States. The majority of vascul...
