- DCs metabolize sunlight-induced vitamin D3 to 'program' T cell attraction to the epidermal chemokine CCL27" (PDF). (wikipedia.org)
- In the skin, sunlight and ultraviolet rays act on 7-dehydrocholesterol to form vitamin D3. (gpnotebook.com)
- Vitamin D3 is the bioidentical form of vitamin D synthesized in the body from cholesterol, following activation by the UV rays in sunlight. (physiciannutrients.com)
- Your skin makes vitamin D3 when it's exposed to sunlight. (aestheticsadvisor.com)
- Evidence linking sunlight, vitamin D, and the risk of multiple sclerosis and type 1 diabetes is summarized to develop the thesis that vitamin D is the environmental factor that most strongly influences autoimmune disease development. (frontiersin.org)
Methods2
- METHODS: In STEP 5, adults with overweight/obesity were randomized 1:1 to semaglutide 2.4 mg or placebo, plus lifestyle modification, for 104 weeks. (bvsalud.org)
- Reference ranges of 1,25(OH) 2 D vary since different laboratories may use different methods for measuring 1,25(OH) 2 D and different units of measurement. (medscape.com)
Subsequently1
- In tumor-induced osteomalacia, tumor-secreted FGF-23 inhibits enzyme 1α-hydroxylase and subsequently results in decreased 1,25(OH) 2 D synthesis. (medscape.com)
Synthesis1
- HIV protease inhibitors have been reported to markedly suppress the activities of 25- and 1α-hydroxylase and thus affect 1,25(OH) 2 D synthesis. (medscape.com)
Occurs in the liver1
- The first hydroxylation occurs in the liver. (jhu.edu)
Molecular1
- The discovery that a variety of tissues can express vitamin D receptor (VDR) has opened new ways of research related to vitamin D biological effects and molecular pathways [ 1 - 3 ]. (hindawi.com)
Form1
- So when you get a blood test, this will be the form of vitamin D that is measured and it's the most abundant form of vitamin D3 in the circulatory system. (youthandearth.com)
Ultraviolet3
- Among the inducers and positive regulators of melanogenesis are L-tyrosine and L-DOPA (pigment precursors), ultraviolet radiation and the melanocortin 1 receptor ( 5 , 9 , 10 ). (spandidos-publications.com)
- Ang 7-dehydrocholesterol, isang sangkap na matatagpuan sa balat, ay na-convert sa previtamin D3, na nag-isomerize upang bumuo ng bitamina D3, kapag nalantad sa ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation sa pagitan ng mga wavelength na 290 at 315 nm. (thhappyherbal.com)
- Vitamin D3 is synthesized by humans in the skin when exposed to ultraviolet-B rays from the sun. (jhu.edu)
Measurement2
- To confirm the target level of 25 hydroxyvitamin D, measurement of it should be determined 3-4 months after initiating the maintenance therapy. (com.bd)
- When is measurement of a 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D serum concentration clinically indicated? (vitamindwiki.com)
Associated with vitamin1
- Significant changes in gene expression after stimulation with 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D were observed for gene loci such as IRF8 and PTPN2 which were not previously associated with vitamin D regulation [ 13 ]. (biomedcentral.com)
20002
