A QUICK REVIEW OF VITAMIN D METABOLISM
Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is made in sun-exposed skin,or can be absorbed in the diet or as a supplement.
liver Vitamin D3 is converted into 25-OH vitamin D (calcidiol) in the liver. IIt can also be taken as an oral supplement.This is the form of the hormone we test for in the blood.
kidney 25-OH-vitamin D is converted to 1,25-OH vitamin D (calcitriol)
in the kidney. This is the active form of the hormone.

METABOLISM OF VITAMIN D

ACTION OF VITAMIN D
Vitamin D is a steroid hormone that primarily acts to increase transcription of vitamin D responsive genes primarily in the small intestine These genes mediate increased absorption of
calcium and phosphorous in the gut However, there is evidence that other cell
types express the vitamin D receptor Vitamin D plays a role in maintaining normal
neuromuscular function and immunity There is some evidence that vitamin D
regulates apoptosis, cell proliferation and inflammation as well

Involved in cellular growth, differentiation and apoptosis
Simulates insulin secretion
Modulates the immune system.
Reduces inflammation
Muscle development

VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY
Vitamin D deficiency causes osteomalacia in which bone mineralization is defective In children this causes rickets. A common presenting
syndrome is bowing of the legs In adults this causes fragility of the bones which can lead
to fractures
Other symptoms of vitamin D deficiency include diffuse body aches and muscle weakness

VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY
oSubclinical deficiencyoSilent epidemic.oPresent in approximately 30% to 50% of the general
population.oMore prevalent in elderly, women of child bearing age and
infants.oOften unrecognized by clinicians.oMay contribute to development of osteoporosis &
increased risk of fractures related to falls in the elderly.

CAUSES
Inadequate sun exposure Sunscreen Pigmented skin Aging (older than 65 years) Winter season
Decreased absorption Bowel bypass surgery Crohn’s disease Celiac disease Fat and cholesterol absorption inhibitors
![Page 11: Vitamin D defecancy](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042615/55a628f51a28abd0138b464e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
OTHER CAUSES
Breastfeeding
Liver failure
Chronic renal disease
Medications; Steroids decrease half life of vitamin D. Dilantin, Phenobarbital, and Rifampin can induce hepatic p450 enzymes to accelerate the catabolism of vitamin D.

Risk of osteoporosis may be reduced with adequate intake of vitamin D and calcium.
Studies support the concept that vitamin D at doses between 700 and 800 IU/d with calcium supplementation effectively increase hip bone density and reduced fracture risk, whereas lower vitamin D doses may have less effect.

Vitamin D supplementation is associated with a lower risk of autoimmune diseases.
In a Finnish birth cohort study of 10,821 children, supplementation with vitamin D at 2000 IU/d reduced the risk of type 1 diabetes by approximately 78%, whereas children who were at risk for rickets had a 3-fold higher risk for type 1 diabetes.
In a case-control study of 7 million US military personnel, high circulating levels of vitamin D were associated with a lower risk of multiple sclerosis.
Similar associations have also been described for vitamin D levels and rheumatoid arthritis.
AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE
![Page 19: Vitamin D defecancy](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042615/55a628f51a28abd0138b464e/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Low intake of vitamin D and calcium has been associated with an increased risk of non-Hodgkin lymphomas, colon, ovarian, breast, prostate, and other cancers.
The anti-cancer activity of vitamin D is thought to
result from its role as a nuclear transcription factor that regulates cell growth, differentiation, apoptosis and a wide range of cellular mechanisms central to the development of cancer. These effects may be mediated through vitamin D receptors expressed in cancer cells.
Vitamin D is not currently recommended for reducing cancer risk
ROLE IN CANCER PREVENTION

VITAMIN D AND CANCER
Roles in prevention of Colon cancer Breast cancer
![Page 21: Vitamin D defecancy](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042615/55a628f51a28abd0138b464e/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Role in Reproductive Health Vitamin D deficiency early in pregnancy is associated with
a five-fold increased risk of preeclampsia.
Role in All Cause Mortality Researchers concluded that having low levels of vitamin
D (<17.8 ng/mL) was independently associated with an increase in all-cause mortality in the general population.
![Page 22: Vitamin D defecancy](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042615/55a628f51a28abd0138b464e/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Vitamin D deficiency activates the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and can predispose to hypertension and left ventricular hypertrophy.
Additionally, vitamin D deficiency causes an increase in parathyroid hormone, which increases insulin resistance secondary to down regulation of insulin receptors and is associated with diabetes,
hypertension, inflammation, and increased cardiovascular risk.
ROLE IN CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES

TYPE 2 DIABETES
Altered vitamin D and calcium homeostasis may play a role in development of type 2 diabetes
Low serum levels of 25(OH)D are associated with impaired pancreatic β cell function and insulin resistance
High calcium intake is inversely associated with body weight

TAKE HOME MESSAGE
There is considerable evidence to support vitamin D deficiency screening and supplementation in elderly individuals at risk for osteoporosis, falls and fractures.
Do all age, racial, geographic groups require the same vitamin D levels for general health?
Is widespread supplementation of vitamin D safe in all populations?
Would supplementation benefit younger people? Is it possible that some people have low calcidiol
levels, but adequate calcitriol levels and thus no adverse consequence to “low” vitamin D?
![Page 32: Vitamin D defecancy](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042615/55a628f51a28abd0138b464e/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
CONSEQUENCES OF VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY
o Reduced intestinal absorption of calcium & phosphorus
o Hypophosphataemia precedes hypocalciaemia
o Secondary hyperparathyroidism
o Bone demineralisation
o Osteomalacia / rickets

True or False. Vitamin D is not necessary for Calcium to be absorbed
in the body.

![Page 37: Vitamin D defecancy](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042615/55a628f51a28abd0138b464e/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
RECOMMENDATIONS
o Annual testing of 25(OH)D
o Consider time of year in testingo Lowest levels generally towards end of winter, early
spring

VITAMIN D OVERVIEW
o It is a fat soluble vitamin.o Not just a vitamin it is a prehormoneo Found in some food and made in the body after
exposure to UV rayso Major biological function is to maintain normal
blood levels of Ca and Po4o Other tissues like macrophages, prostrate tissue
also have vit D receptor
