Vitamin D3 an ever green molecule [PDF]

Frontiers in Bioscience, 2013
Vitamin D3 is a key regulator of vertebrates homeostasis. It is synthesized from the precursor 7-dehydrocholesterol upon UVB exposure in the skin and then hydrolyzed in the liver in position 25, to be finally converted into its active form, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25(OH)2D or calcitriol), in the kidneys.

The Vitamin D3 1alpha-Hydroxylase Gene and Its Regulation by Active Vitamin D3 [PDF]

Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, 2011
Vitamin D has a pivotal role in a many biological processes, including the maintenance of calcium homeostasis, cell differentiation and proliferation. Most of these actions are mediated by transcriptional regulation of target genes through vitamin D receptor (VDR), a member the steroid/thyroid hormone receptor superfamily.

1(OH) vitamin D3 supplementation improves the sensitivity of the immune-response during Peg-IFN/RBV therapy in chronic hepatitis C patients-case controlled trial. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
OBJECTIVE: 1,25(OH)2 vitamin D3 can affect immune cells. However, the mechanism responsible for the favorable effects of 1(OH) vitamin D3, which becomes 1,25(OH)2 vitamin D3 in the liver, is not clear.

Early‐stage health technology assessment of a curative gene therapy for multiple sclerosis

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Multiple sclerosis (MS) is associated with significant early morbidity, reduced life expectancy and substantial healthcare and societal costs. The primary objective of this study is to assess the early cost‐effectiveness potential of a novel gene therapy, IMMUTOL, for MS compared with current high‐efficacy treatment sequences.

Relationships among nitrous oxide exposure, neurological injury and biomarkers

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Recreational nitrous oxide (N2O) misuse is an increasing public health problem associated with functional cobalamin (B12) deficiency and severe neurological complications. Despite growing recognition of its harms, the dose–response relationship and clinical value of biomarkers remain unclear.
