Vitamin D metabolism

Vitamin-D is a sterol which contains steroid nucleus. It is a fat soluble vitamin and functions like a hormone.
Sources of vitamin D:1. Diet.
2. Sun exposure.
![Page 3: Vitamin D sources and merabolism](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062400/586e12d21a28ab8a588b5bf5/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Vitamin D in the dietIt occurs in two forms:Vitamin D2 (Ergocalciferol).Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol).
![Page 4: Vitamin D sources and merabolism](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062400/586e12d21a28ab8a588b5bf5/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Ergocalciferol (vitamin D2) is formed from ergosterol and is present in plants.
Cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) is found in animals (fatty fish, fish liver oils, egg yolk etc).
Milk is not a good source.
Both the sterols are similar in structure except that ergocalciferol has an additional methyl group.
They are sources for vitamin D activity and are referred as provitamins.

Absorption: vitamin D2 and D3 are absorbed from upper small intestine and bile is essential.
Mechanism: vitamin D3 and D2 form mixed micelles by combining with bile salts (micelles).

During the course of cholesterol biosynthesis 7-dehydrocholesterol is formed as an intermediate.
On exposure to sunlight, 7-dehydrocholesterol is converted to cholecalciferol in the skin (dermis and epidermis).
Sun exposure
![Page 8: Vitamin D sources and merabolism](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062400/586e12d21a28ab8a588b5bf5/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The production of vitamin D in the skin is directly proportional to the exposure to sunlight and inversely proportional to the pigmentation of skin.
Excessive exposure to sunlight does not result in vitamin D toxicity since excess provitamin D3 are destroyed by sunlight itself.

![Page 10: Vitamin D sources and merabolism](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062400/586e12d21a28ab8a588b5bf5/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Transport:Vitamin D is transported from intestine to
the liver by binding to vitamin D binding globulin.
25 OH D3 and 1,25 OH2 D3 are also transported in the blood by binding to it.
Storage:25 OH cholecalciferol is the major
storage and circulatory form of vitamin D.
![Page 11: Vitamin D sources and merabolism](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062400/586e12d21a28ab8a588b5bf5/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Activation of Vitamin D:Active form: the active form of vitamin D is
1,25 OH cholecalciferol and is also called as calcitriol.
Cholecalciferol is first hydroxylated at 25th position to 25 OH cholecalciferol by a specific hydroxylase present in liver.
Kidney possesses a specific enzyme, 25 OH cholecalciferol 1 α hydroxylase.
![Page 12: Vitamin D sources and merabolism](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062400/586e12d21a28ab8a588b5bf5/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
1 α hydroxylase hydroxylates 25 OH cholecalciferol at position 1 to produce 1,25 – OH cholecalciferol (calcitriol).
Both hydroxylase enzymes (of liver and kidney) require cytochrome P450, NADPH and molecular oxygen for hydroxylation process
![Page 13: Vitamin D sources and merabolism](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062400/586e12d21a28ab8a588b5bf5/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Regulation Formation of 1,25 – DHCC is regulated by
the regulation of renal 1 α – hydroxylase.
1 α – hydroxylase activity is increased by hypocalcemia.
Hypocalcemia stimulates PTH secretion which, in turn, increases 1 α – hydroxylase.
1 α – hydroxylase activity may be feedback inhibited by 1,25 – DHCC
![Page 14: Vitamin D sources and merabolism](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062400/586e12d21a28ab8a588b5bf5/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
FunctionVitamin D regulates the plasma levels of calcium
and phosphorous.Plasma calcium levels are regulated by effects of
1,25 – DHCC on small intestine, kidney, and bone.
It maintains the plasma calcium levels by increasing absorption of calcium from small intestine, increasing reabsorption of calcium by renal distal tubules and increasing mobilization of calcium from bone
![Page 15: Vitamin D sources and merabolism](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062400/586e12d21a28ab8a588b5bf5/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
24,25 – DHCC is another metabolite of vitamin D
It is synthesized in kidney by 24 - hydroxylase
If Calcitriol concentration is adequate, 24 – hydroxylase acts leading to the synthesis of a less important compound 24,25 – DHCC
To maintain calcium homeostasis, synthesis of 24,25 – DHCC is important

Vitamin D and Sun
![Page 25: Vitamin D sources and merabolism](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062400/586e12d21a28ab8a588b5bf5/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
The part of the sun’s rays that is important is ultraviolet B (UVB). This is the most natural way to get vitamin D.
Which rays
![Page 26: Vitamin D sources and merabolism](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062400/586e12d21a28ab8a588b5bf5/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Duration of exposure.Type of the skin.The amount of exposed skin. Sunscreen use.Age: elderly produce less vitamin D.Altitude: higher altitude produce more
vitamin DCloud weather.Air pollution: Polluted air soaks up UVB or
reflects it back into space.Being behind glass: glass blocks all UVB.
Factors affecting vitamin production by sun exposure
![Page 27: Vitamin D sources and merabolism](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062400/586e12d21a28ab8a588b5bf5/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Sunlight exposure typically between 10 am and 3 pm in the spring, summer, and fall.
When the sun’s rays enter the Earth’s atmosphere at too much of an angle, the atmosphere blocks the UVB part of the rays, so the skin can’t produce vitamin D. This happens during the early and later parts of the day and during most of the day during the winter season.
Time of exposure
![Page 28: Vitamin D sources and merabolism](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062400/586e12d21a28ab8a588b5bf5/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Exposing the skin for a short time will make all the vitamin D can produce in one day.
The body can produce 10,000 to 25,000 IU of vitamin D in just the time it takes for the skin to turn pink (could be just 15 min. in fair skinned people).
How much exposure
![Page 29: Vitamin D sources and merabolism](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062400/586e12d21a28ab8a588b5bf5/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Infants and children should be kept out of direct strong sunlight (spend time in the shade).
As Infants have delicate skin which burns more easily, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that babies under six months old should stay out of the sun completely.
What about children?
![Page 30: Vitamin D sources and merabolism](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062400/586e12d21a28ab8a588b5bf5/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Pregnants: In two recent studies from the University of South Carolina, they found that pregnant women need to take 4,000 IU of vitamin D everyday to make sure that their newborn child has enough when he is born.
Lactation :the Vitamin D Council recommends that:
a) If she takes a supplement of 6,000 IU of vitamin D each day, she shouldn’t need to give her baby any vitamin D supplement.b) If she is not taking a supplement or getting a good amount of sun exposure, or if she is taking less than 5,000 IU/day of vitamin D, the baby should be given a vitamin D supplement.

Infants (<1 year): 400 IU / day
Children and adults: 600 IU / day
