Vitamin D sensitivity to the immune responses and autoimmunity: A chemical network model study [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 Although Vitamin D is believed to be involved in a large number of immune responses our understanding of these processes at cellular level remained at infancy. We develop and solve a coarse grained kinetic network model to quantify the effects of variation of vitamin D on human immunity. The system of equations accounts for known inter-relation between

An investigation of vitamin D metabolism in kiwi (Apteryx mantelli), tuatara (Sphenodon punctatus) and New Zealand sea lion (Phocarctos hookeri) and the relationship of vitamin D metabolism with their life history characteristics : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Veterinary Studies at Massey University, Turitea, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]
, 2016 Vitamin D, a fat-soluble vitamin, has a wide range of functions in vertebrates. The aim of the study was to determine if the evolutionary history of different animal species affects their predominant route of vitamin D metabolism.

Calculation of the Sun exposure time for the synthesis of vitamin D in Urcuquí, Ecuador [PDF]
Proceeding of Abstracts of IWBBIO, Francisco Ortu\~no Guzm\'an,
Ignacio Rojas Ru\'iz (Comp.), ISBN: 978-84-16929-58-0 (2017), 27, 2017 The synthesis of vitamin D is strongly linked to the availability of solar energy. For a long time, it was clear that using the erythemal irradiances is a good choice to calculate the exposure time. Several authors argue that this method of minimum exposure time overestimates the calculation of the solar irradiance of vitamin D.

Global vitamin D status problems: causes, pathogenetic mechanisms, treatment, prevention measures
Медицинский совет, 2018 There is a need to improve the status of vitamin D. Vitamin D not only affects the processes of formation of the musculoskeletal system, but also actively participates in many extra-osseous effects of cholecalciferol.

Placenta-specific methylation of the vitamin D 24-hydroxylase gene: implications for feedback autoregulation of active vitamin D levels at the fetomaternal interface [PDF]
, 2009 Plasma concentrations of biologically active vitamin D (1,25- (OH)2D) are tightly controlled via feedback regulation of renal 1-hydroxylase (CYP27B1; positive) and 24-hydroxylase (CYP24A1; catabolic) enzymes.

A repeated measures approach to pooled and calibrated biomarker data [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Participant level meta-analysis across multiple studies increases the sample size for pooled analyses, thereby improving precision in effect estimates and enabling subgroup analyses. For analyses involving biomarker measurements as an exposure of interest, investigators must first calibrate the data to address measurement variability arising from usage

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.This proof‐of‐concept study involves high‐throughput teratogenicity screening of compounds using XEn/EpiCs, a 3D stem cell‐based embryo model, within microwells. The term ‘morphotoxicity’ is introduced to complement traditional cytotoxicity assays through automated feature extraction and machine‐learning‐assisted classification of morphologies.
