## Abstract Children with calciumβdeficiency rickets may have increased vitamin D requirements and respond differently to vitamin D~2~ and vitamin D~3~. Our objective was to compare the metabolism of vitamins D~2~ and D~3~ in rachitic and control children. We administered an oral single dose of vit

Vitamin D deficiency has been linked to hypertension and an increased prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors and disease. Studies in vitamin D receptor knockout (VDR KO) mice revealed an overstimulated renin-angiotensin system (RAS) and consequent high blood pressure and cardiac hypertrophy. VDR
The plasma disappearance rate of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [ 1,25-(OH)\*D3] was determined in rats after a single intravenous injection of the tritiated hormone. Tritiated 1,25-(OH)2D3 (120 Ci mmol-I) was administered to rats at a dose of 400 000 dpm kg-' body weight and the animals were bled between
1,25-dihydroxy-vitamin D(3) (1,25(OH)(2)D(3)), the hormonally active form of vitamin D(3), acts through two different mechanisms. In addition to regulating gene expression via the specific intracellular vitamin D receptor (VDR), 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) induces rapid, non-transcriptional responses involving
## Abstract Many patients treated for vitamin D deficiency fail to achieve an adequate serum level of 25βhydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] despite high doses of ergoβ or cholecalciferol. The objective of this study was to determine whether administration of vitamin D supplement with the largest meal of th
