متن کاملReview article Vitamin D in preventive medicine: are we ignoring the evidence?
Vitamin D is metabolised by a hepatic 25-hydroxylase into 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) and by a renal 1a-hydroxylase into the vitamin D hormone calcitriol. Calcitriol receptors are present in more than thirty different tissues. Apart from the kidney, several tissues also possess the enzyme 1a-hydroxylase, which is able to use circulating 25(OH)D as a substrate. Serum levels of 25(OH)D are the ...
