Vitamin D: the sunshine vitamin
British Journal of Nursing, 2010Vitamin D has recently attracted a considerable amount of media attention. This article investigates whether the notion of a widespread vitamin D deficiency is justified in the UK, and what effect it might have on the general populace. Also considered are which physiological systems vitamin D affects in addition to bone remodelling, as well as the ...

INTRAVENOUS VITAMIN D IN THE DETECTION OF VITAMIN-D DEFICIENCY
The Lancet, 1969Abstract Forty-three patients, mostly with gastro-intestinal disorders, were each given 1 mg. vitamin D 3 intravenously. The mean change in the fasting serum-phosphate on the fourth and fifth days after vitamin D was expressed as a percentage of the basal level. In thirty-two patients the change in serum-phosphate did not exceed the control range of ±

Vitamin D and the vitamin D receptor in liver pathophysiology
Clinics and Research in Hepatology and Gastroenterology, 2011Vitamin D through the vitamin D nuclear receptor (VDR) plays a key role in mineral ion homeostasis. The liver is central in vitamin D synthesis, however the direct involvement of the vitamin D-VDR axis on the liver remains to be evaluated. In this review, we will describe vitamin D metabolism and the mechanisms of homeostatic control.

VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY AND DISORDERS OF VITAMIN D METABOLISM
Endocrinology and Metabolism Clinics of North America, 2000The disorders of vitamin D metabolism are inherited metabolic abnormalities involving mutations of the vitamin D receptor or enzymes involved in the metabolism of vitamin D to its biologically active form 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D. Although these mutations are rare, studies in affected patients and animal models have helped to identify critical actions ...

Vitamin D intake and vitamin D status of Australians
Medical Journal of Australia, 2002The main source of vitamin D for Australians is exposure to sunlight. Thus, levels of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D(3), the indicator of vitamin D status, vary according to the season and are lower at the end of winter. In Australia and New Zealand, the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency varies, but is acknowledged to be much higher than previously thought.

Anti‐Vitamin D, Vitamin D in SLE
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2007Abstract: The aim of this study was to detect antibodies to vitamin D in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and other autoimmune diseases. The results may shed light to a novel aspect of vitamin D deficiency in autoimmune diseases. Sera from 171 patients with SLE, 56 with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), and 18 with pemphigus vulgaris (PV) were ...

The Function of Vitamin D Receptor in Vitamin D Action
Journal of Biochemistry, 2000Vitamin D has roles in a variety of biological actions such as calcium homeostasis, cell proliferation and cell differentiation to many target tissues. Most of these biological actions of vitamin D are now considered to be exerted through the nuclear vitamin D receptor (VDR)-mediated control of target genes.
