Biochem/physiol Actions

Ergocalciferol (vitamin D2) is activated in vivo by hydroxylation to 25-hydroxyergocalciferol and 1α,25-dihydroxycalciferol. Activated Vitamin D2 molecules may be used in a wide range of studies to assess their effects on functions such as immune function and calcium homeostasis.

Recent studies revealed that the MEK/ERK module of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling cascades is up-regulated in the early stages of 1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) (1,25D(3))-induced monocytic differentiation of human leukemia cells HL60. In the present study, we investigated whether another

Active and less toxic vitamin D analogs could be useful for clinical applications. In the present study, we evaluated the toxicity and antitumor effect of two new synthetic analogs of vitamin D, namely PRI-1906 [(24E)-24a-Homo-(1S)-1,25-dihydroxyergocalciferol] and its side-chain unsaturated homo

A series of analogs of 1,25-dihydroxyergocalciferol (1-4) was synthesized and screened for their antiproliferative activity in vitro. The structure of new analogs was designed based on biological activity of the previously obtained side-chain modified analogs of vitamin D(2) and D(3).

Rickets was diagnosed in a 1-year-old cat with a history of weakness, osteopenia, and recurrent fractures. Processes causing rickets include vitamin D deficiency caused by inadequate, nutrition, lack of exposure to sunlight, defective metabolism of parent vitamin D to active

N-terminal propeptide of type I procollagen (PINP) is a marker of newly formed type I collagen. However, its role in hypophosphatemic rickets/osteomalacia has not yet been established. Metabolic bone markers were examined in patients with oncogenic osteomalacia (OOM) and X-linked
