Inactivation of the 25-hydroxyvitamin D 1alpha-hydroxylase and vitamin D receptor demonstrates independent and interdependent effects of calcium and vitamin D on skeletal and mineral homeostasis.
We employed a genetic approach to determine whether deficiency of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25(OH)2D) and deficiency of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) produce the same alterations in skeletal and calcium homeostasis and whether calcium can subserve the skeletal functions of 1,25(OH)2D and the VDR. Mice with targeted deletion of the 25-hydroxyvitamin D 1alpha-hydroxylase (1alpha(OH)ase-/-) gene, ...
متن کاملEffects of Vitamin D in Neonates and Young Infants
Vitamin D is important for the development, growth, and mineralization of the skeletal in neonates and children. Vitamin D is essential for intestinal absorption of calcium. Vitamin D is metabolized to 25-hydroxyvitamin D and then to 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D. Pregnant women in developed countries often have insufficient serum concentrations of 25-hydroxyvitamin D and a supplementation of vitamin...
متن کاملP-112: Vitamin D and Fertility
Background: Vitamin D has been well-known for its function in maintaining calcium and phosphorus homeostasis and promoting bone mineralization. There is some evidence that in addition to sex steroid hormones, the classic regulators of human reproduction, vitamin D also modulates reproductive processes in women and men. Materials and Methods: This is a review article that were identifical by com...
متن کاملEffects of Oral Isotretinoin on Serum Vitamin D Metabolites and Other Biochemical Markers of Bone Turnover and Calcium Homeostasis in Severe Acne
Background: Few studies have investigated on vitamin D metabolites Serum levels, and calcium homeostasis in humans receiving retinoids, despite a substantial amount of literature concerning retinoid-induced osteoporosis in animals. We prospectively measured vitamin D metabolites serum levels and calcium homeostasis and radiographic bone changes in short course treatment with oral isotreti...
متن کاملInvestigating the Protective Effects of Vitamin D on Diabete
Vitamin D directly (due to receptor activation by vitamin D) or indirectly (through regulation of calcium homeostasis) effects on the pathogenic mechanisms associated with both types of diabetes, such as pancreatic beta-cell dysfunction, impaired insulin action and systemic inflammation. It has been shown that using Vitamin D supplementation during pregnancy and infancy has relation with a redu...
