The effect of hepatectomy on the synthesis of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3.

چکیده
The metabolism of [3H]vitamin D3 in hepatectomized vitamin D-deficient rats has been studied. Hepatectomy drastically disrupts vitamin D3 metabolism as revealed by prolonged high levels of [3H] vitamin D3 in the plasma compartment even 12 h after dose in contrast to sham-operated controls. Some conversion of [3H] vitamin D3 to [3H]25-hydroxyvitamin D3 was detected in hepatectomized rats, but the amount was small in spite of the high circulating levels of [3H]vitamin D3. Since the liver initially takes up much of an administered dose in normal animals and the conversion of [3H]vitamin D3 to [3H]25-hydroxyvitamin D3 is small in hepatectomized rats in spite of high circulating [3H]-vitamin D3, it is concluded that the liver plays a major role in the metabolism of vitamin D3 to 25-hydroxy-vitamin D3.

Serum level of vitamin D3 in vitiligo patients before and after treatment with narrow band UVB. Is there an association with treatment?
Background: Vitiligo is a pigmentation disorder of the skin characterized by the loss of melanocytes through different mechanisms. Narrow band UVB (NBUVB) is a safe and effective treatment for vitiligo that acts by inducing the synthesis of cytokines involved in melanogenesis. NBUVB appears to be involved in the treatment of vitiligo by increasing the synthesis of vitamin D, which prevents the ...
متن کاملRegulatory Effect of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 on Nitric Oxide Production in Activated Microglia
Microglia are activated by inflammatory and pathophysiological stimuli in neurodegenerative diseases, and activated microglia induce neuronal damage by releasing cytotoxic factors like nitric oxide (NO). Activated microglia synthesize a significant amount of vitamin D3 in the rat brain, and vitamin D3 has an inhibitory effect on activated microglia. To investigate the possible role of vitamin D...

Labeled 25-hydroxyvitamin D3-26,23-lactone was isolated from the serum of vitamin D-repleted rats given [3 alpha-3H]-25-hydroxyvitamin D324 hr prior to sacrifice. The metabolite was identified by cochromatography with the authentic lactone on straight-phase and reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. Production of the lactone was abolished by nephrectomy indicating that the kidne...

Serum 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 concentration and renal 25-hydroxyvitamin D 1 a-hydroxylase activity were measured in rats fed various levels of calcium, phosphorus and vitamin D3. Both calcium deprivation and phosphorus deprivation greatly increased circulating levels of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3. The circulating level of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 in rats on a low-calcium diet increased with incr...
