Abstract
Vitamin D is among the vitamins necessary for both adults' and children's health. It plays a significant role in calcium absorption, the immune system, cell proliferation and differentiation, bone protection, skeletal health, rickets, muscle health, heart health, disease pathogenesis and severity, glucose metabolism, glucose intolerance, varying insulin secretion, and diabetes. Because the 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) test, which is used to measure vitamin D is expensive and may not be covered in healthcare benefits in many countries, this study aims to predict vitamin D deficiency in diabetic patients. The prediction method is based on data mining techniques combined with feature selection by using historical electronic health records. The results were compared with a filter-based feature selection algorithm, namely relief-F. Non-valuable features were eliminated effectively with the relief-F feature selection method without any performance loss in classification. The performances of the methods were evaluated using classification accuracy (ACC), sensitivity, specificity, F1-score, precision, kappa results, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. The analyses have been conducted on a vitamin D dataset of diabetic patients and the results show that the highest classification accuracy of 97.044% was obtained for the support vector machines (SVM) model using radial kernel that contains 18 features.

Abstract
An 8-week feeding trial was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary vitamin D3 supplementation on the growth performance, tissue Ca and P concentrations, antioxidant capacity, immune response and lipid metabolism in Litopenaeus vannamei larvae. A total of 720 shrimp (initial weight 0·50 ± 0·01 g) were randomly distributed into six treatments, each of which had three duplicates of forty shrimp per duplicate. Six isonitrogenous and isolipidic diets were formulated to contain graded vitamin D3 (0·18, 0·23, 0·27, 0·48, 0·57 and 0·98 mg/kg of vitamin D3, measured) supplementation levels. The results revealed that L. vannamei fed diet containing 0·48 mg/kg of vitamin D3 achieved the best growth performance. Compared with the control group, supplementing 0·48 mg/kg of vitamin D3 significantly increased (P < 0·05) the activities of catalase, total antioxidative capacity, alkaline phosphatase and acid phosphatase in serum and hepatopancreas. Expression levels of antioxidant and immune-related genes were synchronously increased (P < 0·05). Carapace P and Ca concentrations were increased (P < 0·05) with the increased vitamin D3 supplementation levels. Further analysis of lipid metabolism-related genes expression showed that shrimp fed 0·48 mg of vitamin D3 per kg diet showed the highest value in the expression of lipid synthesis-related genes, while shrimp fed 0·98 mg of vitamin D3 per kg diet showed the highest value in the expression of lipolysis-related genes. In conclusion, the results of present study indicated that dietary supplementation of 0·48 mg/kg of vitamin D3 could increase Ca and P concentrations, improve antioxidant capacity and immune response, and influence lipid metabolism in L. vannamei.

Dietary Supplementation with Phytase and Protease Improves Growth Performance, Serum Metabolism Status, and Intestinal Digestive Enzyme Activities in Meat Ducks. Animals (Basel) 2020; 10:ani10020268. [PMID: 32046261 PMCID: PMC7070931 DOI: 10.3390/ani10020268] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2020] [Revised: 02/02/2020] [Accepted: 02/05/2020] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Two experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of dietary supplementation with protease and phytase on growth performance, serum physiochemical parameters, and activities of digestive enzymes in jejunal digesta of meat ducks. Experiment 1 was carried out to determine the effects of different protease or phytase on growth performance, serum physiochemical parameter, and activities of digestive enzymes in jejunal digesta of meat ducks to select the optimal phytase or protease. According to the hatching age and initial weight, a total of 5040 Cherry Valley ducks (15 days of age) were randomly assigned into six treatments. Treatments included a basal control diet (CON) and 5 basal diets supplemented with different enzyme preparations, which were phytase preparation A (PA, 160 g/t), phytase preparation B (PB, 800 g/t), protease preparation A (PTA, 80 g/t), protease preparation B (PTB, 300 g/t) and protease preparation C (PTC, 200 g/t). The enzyme activities were as follows: Phytase A and B as well as protease A, B, and C were 50,000, 10,000, 250,000, 50,000, and 60,000 U/g, respectively. Each treatment had 7 replicates with 120 meat ducks per replicate. Experiment 1 lasted for 28 days. The results showed that: compared with the CON group, the PA group significantly decreased contents of serum phosphorus and calcium (p < 0.05), and the PTA, PTB, and PTC groups had higher activities of trypsin in jejunal digesta (p < 0.05), and the activity of jejunal chymotrypsin in PTA group was greater (p < 0.05). Experiment 2 was carried out to determine the effects of dietary supplementation with protease and phytase in low-energy and low-protein diet on growth performance, serum physiochemical parameters, and activities of digestive enzymes in jejunal digesta of meat ducks. According to the hatching age and initial weight, a total of 5760 Cherry Valley ducks (15 days of age) were randomly assigned into four treatments on the basis of a trial of 2 × 2 factorial design. Treatments included a basal control diet (PC), basal diet supplemented with enzymes (PCE), low-energy and low-protein diet (LEP), and low-energy and low-protein diet supplemented with enzymes (LEPE), the nutrient levels of energy and CP of basal diet were 2747.2 cal·ME/kg and 16.80%, respectively, and the nutrient levels of energy and CP of low-energy and low-protein diet decreased 45.90 kcal·ME/kg and 0.52% on the basis of basal diet, respectively. According to the results of experiment 1, phytase A and protease A were determined as the optimal enzyme combination of Experiment 2, and additional dosage of which were identical with Experiment 1. Each treatment had 6 replicates with 240 meat ducks per replicate. Experiment 2 lasted for 28 days. The results showed that: compared with PC and LEP groups, PCE and LEPE groups had higher final weight and average daily gain (ADG) (p < 0.05), higher activities of trypsin and chymotrypsin in jejunal digesta (p < 0.05), lower contents of serum calcium and phosphorus as well as higher levels of high-density lipoprotein in the serum (p < 0.05). In conclusion, dietary supplementation with phytase and protease in different energy and protein diets could increase digestive enzymes in jejunal digesta, effect serum physiochemical parameters, improve metabolic status, and increase the growth performance of meat ducks. Meanwhile, with the dietary supplementation with phytase and protease in the lower energy and protein diet, the growth performance could reach to the degree of the higher energy and increased protein diet, but without the addition of phytase and protease.

Abstract
The First International Conference on Controversies in Vitamin D was held in Pisa, Italy, 14-16 June 2017. The meeting's purpose was to address controversies in vitamin D research, review the data available, to help resolve them, and suggest a research agenda to clarify areas of uncertainty. The serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] concentration [i.e. the sum of 25(OH)D3 and 25(OH)D2 ] remains the critical measurement for defining vitamin D status. Assay variation for 25(OH)D has contributed to the current chaos surrounding efforts to define hypovitaminosis D. An essential requirement to develop a consensus on vitamin D status is that measurement of 25(OH)D and, in the future, other potential vitamin D biomarkers [e.g. 1α,25(OH)2 D3 , 3-epi-25(OH)D, 24,25(OH)2 D3, vitamin D-binding protein, free/bioavailable 25(OH)D and parathyroid hormone] be standardized/harmonized, to allow pooling of research data. Vitamin D Standardization Program tools are described and recommended for standardizing 25(OH)D measurement in research. In the future, similar methodology, based on National Institute for Standards and Technology standard reference materials, must be developed for other candidate markers of vitamin D status. Failure to standardize/harmonize vitamin D metabolite measurements is destined to promulgate continued chaos. At this time, 25(OH)D values below 12 ng ml-1 (30 nmol l-1 ) should be considered to be associated with an increased risk of rickets/osteomalacia, whereas 25(OH)D concentrations between 20 ng ml-1 and 50 ng ml-1 (50-125 nmol l-1 ) appear to be safe and sufficient in the general population for skeletal health. In an effort to bridge knowledge gaps in defining hypovitaminosis D, an international study on rickets as a multifactorial disease is proposed.

Abstract
Vitamin D and its' metabolites are a crucial part of the endocrine system that controls whole body calcium homeostasis. The goal of this hormonal control is to regulate serum calcium levels so that they are maintained within a very narrow range. To achieve this goal, regulatory events occur in coordination at multiple tissues, e.g. the intestine, kidney, bone, and parathyroid gland. Production of the vitamin D endocrine hormone, 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25(OH)2 D) is regulated by habitual dietary calcium intake and physiologic states like growth, aging, and the menopause. The molecular actions of 1,25(OH)2 D on calcium regulating target tissues are mediated predominantly by transcription controlled by the vitamin D receptor. A primary role for 1,25(OH)2 D during growth is to increase intestinal calcium absorption so that sufficient calcium is available for bone mineralization. However, vitamin D also has specific actions on kidney and bone.

Abstract
This study evaluated intake, microbial efficiency, and ruminal, small and large intestinal, and total digestibility of DM, OM, CP, and NDF, as well as availability of Ca, P, Mg, Na, K, Cu, Mn, and Zn in Zebu cattle fed with or without supplemental sources of Ca and P or a micromineral premix. Five rumen- and ileum-cannulated Nellore bulls (BW = 200 ± 10.5 kg; 9 mo) were used in the experiment, distributed in a 5 × 5 Latin square design. The experiment was developed in a 2 × 2 + 1 factorial design to measure the effects of mineral supplementation on intake, digestibility, and site of nutrient absorption. The factors consisted of 2 Ca and P levels (macromineral factor; CaP+ or CaP-) and 2 microminerals levels (micromineral factor; CuMnZn+ or CuMnZn-). In addition, a treatment with alimentary restriction (REST) was evaluated at 1.7% of BW. Nutrient fluxes were measured in the omasum and ileum, in addition to intake and fecal excretion. Microbial efficiency was estimated using purine derivative excretion. Dry matter, OM, NDF, CP intake, and total digestibility were not affected ( ≥ 0.058) by the absence of Ca, P, Cu, Mn, and Zn supplementation. Intake of Ca, P, and Mg were reduced ( < 0.01) by CaP-. The absence of CuMnZn reduced ( < 0.01) Cu, Mn, and Zn intake. Ruminal recycling of P, Na, and K is significant for increasing the influx of these minerals to the digestive tract; however, influences of treatments were not observed. The small and large intestines contributed to mineral absorption in different proportions ( < 0.05), according to minerals and treatments. Because of the similarity ( > 0.05) of OM, NDF, and CP digestion sites and coefficients, we assume that omitting supplemental sources of Ca, P, Cu, Mn, and Zn may be an option in raising cattle on feedlots. If supplementation is viable, knowledge about the specific absorption site of each mineral could positively impact choices about the supplemental source.

Abstract
AIMS Low vitamin D status has been shown to be associated with coronary artery disease; most studies have involved in adults, but few have involved elderly people. We planned to research the association between vitamin D, parathyroid hormone (PTH) and coronary artery disease in elderly people. METHODS A population-based study was conducted among 1245 Chinese participants, aged 60-102 years, in the spring of 2013. Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25 (OH)D) was measured by chemiluminescence assay. The levels of PTH were measured by the electrochemiluminescence immunoassay (ECLIA) method. RESULTS One thousand two hundred and forty-five participants, including 543 women (43.6%), were evaluated in 2013. The median concentrations of serum 25 (OH)D and PTH for the entire group were 16.8 ng/ml and 41.0 pg/ml, respectively. The prevalence rates of diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and coronary artery disease were significantly different across the 25 (OH)D quartiles. The prevalence rates of diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and coronary artery disease were also significantly different across the PTH quartiles. In logistic regression analyses, serum 25 (OH)D levels were associated with risk of coronary artery disease in single and multiple regression models (P < 0.05). Serum PTH levels were also associated with the risk of coronary artery disease in single and multiple regression models (P < 0.05). Subgroup analyses stratified by sex or age yielded similar results. CONCLUSIONS Serum vitamin D and PTH levels are independently associated with risk of coronary artery disease in a Chinese elderly population.

Abstract
Solanum glaucophyllum (SG) contains 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25-(OH)2D3) glycosides. We investigated the effect of SG on hypocalcemia in cows. Serum levels of 1,25-(OH)2D3, total calcium and phosphorus dose-relatedly increased after feeding with SG, while serum magnesium and chloride levels fell (P < 0.05). We also performed an ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) infusion to induce artificial hypocalcemia. Cows that had been fed 4.0 mg/kg body weight of SG daily for 2 weeks had a higher serum concentration of total calcium at the end of EDTA infusion than those not fed SG (P < 0.05). In a field trial, multiparous cows were assigned to one of four groups: (1) no SG, (2) 1.3 g or (3) 2.6 g of SG daily from 14 days before the estimated calving day until 3 days after calving, or (4) a single feed of 35.75 g SG at 3 days before the estimated calving day. The concentrations of serum total calcium after the calving in each treatment group were (1) 7.4, (2) 7.9, (3) 8.0 and (4) 8.9 mg/dL and higher for (4) than for (1) (P < 0.05). The data suggests that feeding a high dose of SG before the calving may maintain higher concentrations of serum calcium after the calving.

Abstract
An experiment was conducted to determine the quantitative relationships between standardized total tract digestible P (STTD P) and total Ca intakes with their retention and excretion by growing pigs fed corn-soybean meal diets. Forty-eight crossbred barrows (BW = 22.7 ± 2.9 kg) were allotted to 1 of 8 diets, housed individually in pens for 3 wk, and then moved to metabolism crates and allowed 4 d for adaptation and 5 d for collection of urine and fecal samples. Eight corn-soybean meal diets were formulated for similar NE, fat, and AA concentrations but to increase the STTD P from 0.16 to 0.62% using monocalcium phosphate. Dietary treatments were formulated for a constant Ca:STTD P ratio (2.2:1). The STTD P intake increased (P < 0.001) from 64 to 242% of the daily requirement (4.59 g/d of STTD P). Fecal and total excretion of P and Ca were linearly associated with mineral intake (P < 0.001). Constant urinary P excretion of 0.03 g/d P was observed, but at 4.96 g/d of STTD P intake, the urinary P excretion increased (P < 0.001). In contrast, Ca excretion in urine decreased (P < 0.001) with Ca intake, but constant excretion of 0.40 g/d Ca was reached at 17.97 g/d of Ca intake. The daily intakes of STTD P and Ca moderately explained the variation in urinary excretion of P (R2= 0.41) and Ca (R2= 0.64). The absorption and retention of P increased linearly (P< 0.001) with dietary P intake, whereas absorption and retention of Ca showed a quadratic response (P < 0.001). Absorption and retention of P and Ca were highly predictable from the STTD P and Ca intakes, with of 0.87 and 0.90, respectively. The femur mineral content (FMC) increased by 2.71 g with STTD P intake (P < 0.001) but reached a plateau (29.54 g of FMC) at 8.84 g/d of STTD P intake. The FMC was highly predictable from the STTD P intake (R2 = 0.89). The FMC affected the urinary P excretion ( P< 0.01), but moderately (R2= 0.19) explained the variation in urinary P. In conclusion, constant excretion of P in urine was observed but excretion increased linearly at STTD P intake levels above the requirement for maximum growth of growing pigs. The FMC increased with STTD P intake, but a plateau was reached at a STTD P intake level above the requirement. Dietary STTD P was used for growth and accumulated in bones until a plateau was reached and excess was excreted in urine. The predictability of P and Ca excretion in urine from the dietary STTD P and Ca intakes was moderate.

Abstract
A selective separation of vitamin D₃ and tachysterol₃ by solvent extraction with 7 organic solvents and 11 ionic liquids (ILs) has been reported. Among organic solvents sulfolane showed optimal extraction performance, giving only a selectivity of 1.44 for tachysterol₃ over vitamin D₃. ILs with unsaturated bonds demonstrated high selectivity probably due to their different π-π interactions with the two compounds. A pyrrolidinium-based ionic liquid, for example, [BMPr][NTf2], provided the highest selectivity up to 1.77. Acceptable selectivity and distribution coefficients were observed by a combination of organic solvents and ILs as extracting agents. In this work, the effects of concentrations, anions, cations, and substituent of ILs were investigated, which may provide a rational strategy for the design of novel ILs for extractive separation of structural analogues. The purification and recovery of vitamin D₃3 via continuous multistage extractions were simulated, indicating that IL-based liquid-liquid extraction might be superior to traditional organic solvents in practical production.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Conflicting reports support or refute an association between vitamin D deficiency with high levels of parathyroid hormone (PTH) and raised blood pressure or hypertension. OBJECTIVE To explore the associations of serum vitamin D and PTH levels with blood pressure and risk of hypertension in a Chinese population. METHODS A population-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 1,420 Chinese participants, aged 20-83 years, in 2010. Anthropometric phenotypes and blood pressure were evaluated. Serum lipids, 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] and PTH were measured. RESULTS One thousand four hundred and twenty participants, including 566 women (39.9%), were evaluated in 2010. Four hundred and eighty seven were hypertensive (34.3%), of whom 214 (43.9%) received antihypertensive treatment. The median concentrations of serum 25(OH)D and PTH were 22.0 ng/ml and 2.83 pmol/l, respectively. Serum 25(OH)D and natural log of PTH levels were not independently associated with blood pressure in a multivariable adjusted linear regression analysis of 1,206 participants not receiving antihypertensive treatment (P>0.05). In logistic regression analyses, serum 25(OH)D levels were not associated with risk of hypertension in single and multiple regression models. One unit increments of natural log of PTH levels were significantly associated with risk of hypertension in the crude model (OR = 1.78, 95% confidence interval 1.38-2.28, P<0.0001) and model adjusted for age and sex (OR = 1.41, 95% confidence interval 1.08-1.83, P = 0.01). However, these associations were attenuated and became nonsignificant (OR = 1.29, 95% confidence interval 0.98-1.70, P = 0.07) after further adjustment for body mass index, current alcohol intake, current smoking, glomerular filtration rate and family history of hypertension. CONCLUSIONS Serum vitamin D and PTH levels are not independently associated with blood pressure or risk of hypertension in a Chinese population.

Abstract
The kidney is essential for the maintenance of normal calcium and phosphorus homeostasis. Calcium and inorganic phosphorus are filtered at the glomerulus, and are reabsorbed from tubular segments by transporters and channels which are regulated by 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin (1α,25(OH)(2)D) and parathyroid hormone (PTH). The kidney is the major site of the synthesis of 1α,25(OH)(2)D under physiologic conditions, and is one of the sites of 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (24,25(OH)(2)D) synthesis. The activity of the 25(OH)D-1α-hydroxylase, the mixed function oxidase responsible for the synthesis of 1α,25(OH)(2)D, is regulated by PTH, 1α,25(OH)(2)D, fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), inorganic phosphorus and other growth factors. Additionally, the vitamin D receptor which binds to, and mediates the activity of 1α,25(OH)(2)D, is widely distributed in the kidney. Thus, the kidney, by regulating multiple transport and synthetic processes is indispensible in the maintenance of mineral homeostasis in physiological states.

Abstract
Vitamin D is essential for bone growth and development in children and adolescents. Adolescence is a crucial phase in bone development. Cross-sectional studies have shown a relation between vitamin D status and bone mineral density in adolescents. Long-term supplementation studies have supported the importance of vitamin D for bone health in adolescence. However, we need more studies on the optimal serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentration and the optimal vitamin D dosage for bone health in this age group. In addition, we need to evaluate the best way to increase vitamin D status in the general public from a public health point of view.

Abstract
There are many reports of abnormalities in calcium metabolism and even of frank osteomalacia in patients taking anticonvulsant drugs. Although enzyme induction has been suggested to be the cause of increased requirements for vitamin D leading to these changes, this has still to be proved. We have studied the metabolism of [3H]cholecalciferol and 25-hydroxycholecalciferol in subjects taking anticonvulsant drugs. The rate of removal of cholecalciferol from the plasma was no different from that in control subjects and no abnormality was detected in the production of disappearance of 25-hydroxycholecalciferol. However, plasma concentrations of 25-hydroxycholecalciferol fell more rapidly during the winter in epileptic subjects than in control subjects. Our results do not confirm that these changes are due to enzyme induction.

Abstract
The importance of the seasonal variation of calcitropic hormones to growing skeleton has not been established. We studied whether there exists a seasonal variation in calcitropic hormones, bone mineral density (BMD) and bone remodelling markers in early puberty girls. One hundred and ninety-six girls, mean age 11.4 (sd 0.4) years, in Tanner stage 2 (early puberty) and 3 (mid-puberty) were studied during September to March. The BMD was measured from the lumbar vertebrae and the left femur by dual-energy X-ray absoptiometry. Their serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (S-25-OHD), serum intact parathyroid hormone (S-iPTH), serum osteocalcin, urinary pyridinoline and urinary deoxypyridinoline were analysed from fasting samples. The concentration of S-25-OHD and serum osteocalcin differed among months (P < 0.01), reflecting a seasonal variation. The parathyroid hormone correlated negatively with S-25-OHD (r -0.325, P < 0.001). Moreover, the BMD in the femur (P = 0.047) and to a lesser extent in vertebrae (P = 0.057) differed between months in early puberty girls but this was not seen in mid-puberty. Seasonal variation in S-25-OHD and bone remodelling markers accompanied by negative correlation between S-25-OHD and S-iPTH was seen in this cross-sectional study of adolescent girls. In addition, the seasonal rhythm contributed 7.0-7.6 % difference in the BMD of lumbar vertebrae and left femur in early puberty girls. This variation should be avoided since it could hamper peak bone mass attainment.

Abstract
The calcidiol level in a group of Norwegians (14,000 individuals, age range 16-80) was found to be highest in late summer. The seasonal variation was larger for young than for old persons. The calcitriol concentration was practically constant throughout the year. Younger persons had less calcidiol and more calcitriol than older persons, indicating that the conversion of calcidiol to calcitriol is more efficient in younger persons. A seasonal variation of prognosis of cancer (colon-, breast-, prostate- cancer and Hodgkin lymphoma) was found. The survival is highest for summer and autumn diagnosis, corresponding to maximal calcidiol levels. Thus, calcidiol may act synergistically with traditional treatment modalities. In view of these calcitriol and calcidiol data, the seasonal variation of cancer survival may be related to the calcidiol gradient, indicating that this Vitamin D metabolite may be more important than believed so far.

Abstract
Parathyroid hypertensive factor (PHF) is a novel substance secreted by the parathyroid gland (PTG), which is elevated in 30-40% of all hypertensive patients; specifically, the low-renin subset. However, very little is known about the regulation of PHF secretion. Since the classical parathyroid regulator, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25-(OH)2D3), may be elevated concurrent with or preceding the development of low-renin hypertension and elevated plasma PHF, we hypothesized that 1,25-(OH)2D3 would stimulate PHF release. To test this hypothesis, PTG organ and cell cultures, derived from spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and the normotensive genetic control Wistar Kyoto (WKY) rats, were exposed to various vitamin D3 metabolites and PHF release measured by ELISA. 1,25-(OH)2D3 rapidly stimulated PHF release with enhanced sensitivity in SHR versus WKY cultures indicated by a leftward shift in the dose-response curve, whereas 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (24,25-(OH)2D3) had the converse effect. Vitamin D3 analog "BT," an agonist for the classical nuclear vitamin D receptor (1,25VDR(nuc)), was without effect suggesting a 1,25VDR(nuc)-independent mechanism and potential involvement of the plasma membrane-bound vitamin D receptor (1,25 D3-MARRS). Interestingly, protein expression of the 1,25 D3-MARRS was increased in SHR versus WKY parathyroid cells. In conclusion, these results support the idea that 1,25-(OH)2D3 may contribute to elevated plasma PHF in the SHR.

Abstract
Feedlot steers (n = 36) from three biological types (Bos indicus, Bos taurus-Continental, and Bos taurus-English) were used to determine the Ca, P, and vitamin D3 status of feedlot cattle. The USDA yield and quality grade traits were measured at slaughter, and the concentrations of vitamin D3 (VITD) and the metabolites 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25-OH D) and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25-(OH)2 D) were determined in LM, liver, kidney, and plasma. Plasma and muscle Ca and P concentrations also were determined. Biological type of cattle affected a number of carcass traits. Carcasses from Bos taurus-English cattle had more marbling, resulting in higher quality grades (P < 0.05). Carcasses from Bos taurus-Continental cattle had lower calculated yield grades (P < 0.05) than did carcasses from cattle in the other biological types. In general, differences in carcass traits resulting from biological type were consistent with other reports. Plasma and LM Ca and P concentrations were not affected (P = 0.06) by biological type of cattle, indicating that Ca and P homeostasis is a conserved trait across the different types of cattle. Plasma VITD and 25-OH D concentrations were not affected (P = 0.41) by biological type, whereas plasma 1,25-(OH)2 D concentration was lower (P < 0.05) in Bos taurus-English cattle than in Bos taurus-Continental and Bos indicus cattle. Liver VITD and 25-OH D were not affected by biological type (P = 0.76), but liver 1,25-(OH)2 D concentration was greater (P < 0.05) in Bos indicus cattle than in Bos taurus-Continental cattle. Kidney vitamin D metabolite concentrations were not affected by biological type of cattle (P = 0.21). Muscle VITD concentration was greater (P < 0.05) in Bos taurus-English cattle than in the other two biological types, and muscle 25-OH D concentrations were greater (P < 0.05) in Bos taurus-English cattle than in Bos indicus cattle. Muscle 1,25-(OH)2 D concentration was less (P < 0.05) in the Bos taurus-Continental cattle than in the other two biological types. Cooking eliminated vitamin D metabolite differences among the biological types. Our results suggest that Bos indicus cattle had greater 1,25-(OH)2 D (the biologically active form) in tissues, and greater 1,25-(OH)2 D plasma concentrations than Bos taurus cattle. Thus, the need for VITD supplementation and optimal levels of Ca and P in feedlot diets might differ between Bos indicus and Bos taurus cattle.

Abstract
Previous research in our laboratory demonstrated marked increases in phytate P utilization when P-deficient corn-soybean meal diets were supplemented with 1a-hydroxycholecalciferol [1alpha-(OH) D3] and fed to chicks. Our objective was to determine if 1alpha-(OH) D3 would improve phytate P utilization when supplemented to vitamin D-adequate laying hen diets. The five experimental treatments were 1) P-deficient corn-soybean basal diet [17% CP, 3.8% Ca, and 0.10% nonphytate NPP)], 2) basal with 2.5 microg/kg 1alpha-(OH) D3, 3) basal with 5 microg/kg 1alpha-(OH) D3, 4) basal with 10 microg/kg 1alpha-(OH) D3, and 5) basal with 0.35% supplemental inorganic P (0.45% NPP, positive control). Diets were fed to six replicate groups of 12 HyLine W-98 White Leghorn laying hens from 44 to 52 wk of age. Hen-day egg production was significantly depressed by 47 wk of age for the basal diet treatment and by 47, 49, and 48 wk of age, respectively, for the 2.5, 5, and 10 microg/kg of 1alpha-(OH) D3 treatments compared to the positive control diet. Supplementation with 5 or 10 microg/kg 1alpha-(OH) D3 did improve (P < 0.05) egg production, but egg production for those treatments was much lower than that for the 0.45% NPP treatment. Our results indicate that 1alpha-(OH) D3 did not substantially improve P utilization in laying hens fed corn-soybean meal diets.

Abstract
Vitamin D is one of the oldest hormones that have been made in the earliest life forms for over 750 million years. Phytoplankton, zooplankton, and most plants and animals that are exposed to sunlight have the capacity to make vitamin D. Vitamin D is critically important for the development, growth, and maintenance of a healthy skeleton from birth until death. The major function of vitamin D is to maintain calcium homeostasis. It accomplishes this by increasing the efficiency of the intestine to absorb dietary calcium. When there is inadequate calcium in the diet to satisfy the body's calcium requirement, vitamin D communicates to the osteoblasts that signal osteoclast precursors to mature and dissolve the calcium stored in the bone. Vitamin D is metabolized in the liver and then in the kidney to 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D [1,25(OH)(2)D]. 1,25(OH)(2)D receptors (VDR) are present not only in the intestine and bone, but in a wide variety of other tissues, including the brain, heart, stomach, pancreas, activated T and B lymphocytes, skin, gonads, etc. 1,25(OH)(2)D is one of the most potent substances to inhibit proliferation of both normal and hyperproliferative cells and induce them to mature. It is also recognized that a wide variety of tissues, including colon, prostate, breast, and skin have the enzymatic machinery to produce 1,25(OH)(2)D. 1,25(OH)(2)D and its analogs have been developed for treating the hyperproliferative disease psoriasis. Vitamin D deficiency is a major unrecognized health problem. Not only does it cause rickets in children, osteomalacia and osteoporosis in adults, but may have long lasting effects. Chronic vitamin D deficiency may have serious adverse consequences, including increased risk of hypertension, multiple sclerosis, cancers of the colon, prostate, breast, and ovary, and type 1 diabetes. There needs to be a better appreciation of the importance of vitamin D for overall health and well being.

Abstract
The calcinogenic plants are among the most noxious plants to animals in the world. The pathological and biochemical effects of calcinogenic plants in cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, horses, buffalo and laboratory animals have been determined. The chemical nature of the toxic agents and the precise mechanism by with the calcinogenic plants induces calcinosis have been defined. Most of the active principle present as steroidal glycoside is hydrolyzed in intestine, rumen and other tissues or by the bacterial flora releasing the steroidal fragment, in most cases 1,25(OH)(2)D(3). The excess of vitamin D stimulates CaBP synthesis and calcium and phosphate absorption, producing hypercalcemia and/or hyperphosphatemia. The excessively absorbed mineral cannot be physiologically accommodated, and the deposition in soft tissues results in calcinosis. The different means of treatment of calcinosis and control of calcinogenic plants are discussed with regards to their effectiveness. A number of potential uses of calcinogenic plants have been suggested but none has been exploited on a large scale. The understanding of the mechanisms involved with calcinosis contributed enormously to the compression of vitamin D mechanism. Research methods were developed and improved but a lot is to be done in this fascinating subject.

Abstract
1. Young chicks were used to evaluate the efficacy of 2 new vitamin D3 analogs relative to 1 alpha-hydroxycholecalciferol (1 alpha-OH D3) for their ability to improve the bioavailability of phytate-bound phosphorus (P) when added to P-deficient maize-soyabean meal diets that were superadequate in cholecalciferol. 2. Both 20-epi-19-nor-1,25-(OH)2 D3 and 20-epi-19-nor-1 alpha-OH D3 were observed to have phytate-P releasing activity, as measured by bone ash responses. 3. However, the bioactivity of the 2 new analogs differed when compared with 1 alpha-OH D3. The 20-epi-19-nor-1 alpha-OH D3 analog had a lower (P < 0.05) phytate-P releasing activity (45%) than either 1 alpha-OH D3 of 20-epi-19-nor-1,25-(OH)2 D3, which did not differ. 4. A dietary concentration of 10 to 15 micrograms/kg 1 alpha-OH D3 was found to optimize phytate-P utilisation in 2-week-old chicks.

Abstract
Vitamin D3 and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) are molecules from unrelated families that share identical actions on cell growth and differentiation. The active metabolite of vitamin D3, calcitriol (1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3), induces an inhibitory effect on the growth of various cell types, and the expression of different markers of cell differentiation. As the receptor of vitamin D3 is ubiquitous, these effects are widespread in the organism. TGF-beta is a growth factor produced by many cell types, and is a known inhibitor of the proliferation of epithelial cells. Because of the similarity in their actions, many studies have been aimed at defining some interactions between the two substances. The purpose of this article is to illustrate the nature of the interactions, and two examples are developed. In normal or transformed epithelial cells, it has been demonstrated that the inhibitory effect of calcitriol on cell growth could be related to an induction of TGF-beta synthesis, and of a paracrine/autocrine loop. In bone, where both compounds play a very important role on the mechanisms controlling bone formation and remodeling, the interplay is more complex, and even includes the receptors of the two substances. Interest in this topic is growing and will surely lead to the establishment of new links between those two compounds.

Abstract
Increasing evidence suggests an important regulatory function for 1 alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 in the growth control of epidermal cells and in skin immunology. Using immunohistochemical techniques we investigated the in situ expression of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 receptors (VDR) in normal human skin with one monoclonal rat antibody and four monospecific polyclonal rat antibodies to the VDR. Polyclonal rabbit antibodies have been raised against synthetic peptides corresponding to different amino acid residues of the human VDR, including regions close to the DNA binding domain and the hormone-binding domain. All antibodies revealed positive immunoreactivity in normal human skin. The antibodies showed differences in subcellular immunoreactivity and staining-intensity. Differences in subcellular distribution of VDR immunoreactivity are caused by the different epitopes recognized by the antibodies and not by the affinity of the antibodies for VDR. It seems that the antibodies may recognize different functional modifications of the receptor molecule (i.e.: hormone bound vs. hormone free; DNA bound vs. non-DNA bound; VDR vs. VDR/retinoid-X receptor [RXR] heterodimers). Using these newly raised antibodies future studies will be carried out to analyse subcellular distribution of VDR immunoreactivity in skin pathology.

Abstract
Serum vitamin K1 concentrations were measured at presentation (just before surgery) and then at weekly intervals for 3 weeks in two groups of elderly patients requiring either hemiarthroplasty for fractured neck of femur (FON, n = 13) or total hip replacement for osteoarthritis of the hip (OA, n = 16). In comparison with healthy elderly volunteers (n = 25), serum vitamin K1 concentrations were significantly lower in both groups at presentation, and fell significantly within 24 h after surgery to concentrations approaching non-detectable, subsequently returning to pre-operative values within 3 weeks. Serum vitamin K1 tended to be lower in the fracture group both before and after operation, although calculation of a vitamin K1-triglyceride ratio reduced the apparent difference as triglyceride concentrations were lower in the fracture group. Osteocalcin concentrations were similar and fell significantly after operation in both groups, returning to pre-operative levels within 7 days. No differences in the two forms of osteocalcin (carboxylated and undercarboxylated) were observed either before or after operation in either group. 25-Hydroxyvitamin D3 concentrations were not significantly different between the two groups at any time. Vitamin K1 status may be lower than desirable in certain groups of the elderly population, and supplementation should be considered as prophylactic therapy.

Abstract
Several factors have been suggested to contribute to inadequate bone mineralization in infants. Calcium and phosphorus intakes in preterm infants are below the intrauterine accretion rates. Calcium retention is influenced by the types of calcium salts used and by alterations in dietary phosphorus, fat and carbohydrates. Dietary intakes of vitamin D, and modifications in the protein base of infant formula, e.g., soy base vs cow milk base, may impact bone mineralization. The major hormonal mechanisms involved in the regulation of bone mineralization are parathyroid hormone, calcitonin and vitamin D. From recent animal studies, it has been suggested that parathyroid hormone related peptide (PTH-rp) may also play a role in perinatal calcium homeostasis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of the study was to identify cases of hypervitaminosis D caused by the inadvertent overfortification of milk from a home-delivery dairy and to identify risk factors for this illness. METHODS Hospital discharge, laboratory, and state health department data were used to define, identify, and describe cases of hypervitaminosis D diagnosed in the exposed communities between January 1, 1985, and June 30, 1991. To identify disease risk factors, community-based sex- and age-matched controls were used in a case-control study. RESULTS Of the 56 case patients identified, at least 41 were hospitalized; 2 died. The study included 33 case patients and 93 control subjects. Nineteen of the 33 case patients had been customers of the implicated dairy. Risk of illness rose with increasing consumption of the dairy's milk and was also associated with vitamin D supplement use, sunburn susceptibility, and cancer history. Accounting for these factors did not alter the association between drinking the dairy's milk and developing hypervitaminosis D. CONCLUSIONS Overfortification of milk with vitamin D can lead to hypervitaminosis D, manifested by severe illness and death. The episode highlights the need for monitoring the fortification process and enforcing the upper limit for vitamin D addition to milk.

Abstract
Because the hair follicle is a highly hormone-sensitive miniorgan, the role of hormones produced locally in the skin in the control of hair growth deserves systematic analysis. It has been shown previously that the potent steroid hormone 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25-D3) modulates growth and differentiation of keratinocytes via binding to a high-affinity nuclear vitamin D receptor (VDR). In this study, we have examined the in situ expression of VDR during the murine hair cycle. VDR expression was detected immunohistochemically. To obtain defined stages of the murine hair cycle, hair growth was induced by depilation in C57 BL-6 mice. In addition to the recognized VDR expression of outer root sheath keratinocytes, we detected VDR immunoreactive cells in the dermal papilla, the mesenchymal key structure of the hair follicle. Furthermore, VDR immunoreactivity in the nuclei of outer root sheath keratinocytes and in dermal papilla cells was stronger during anagen IV-VI and catagen than during telogen and anagen I-III. This suggests hair cycle-associated changes in the expression of VDR, and points to a potential role for 1,25-D3 in hair follicle biology. Selected follicular cell populations may display hair cycle-dependent sensitivity to 1,25-D3 stimulation.

Abstract
The calcium-regulating hormone 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3[1,25(OH)2D3] is recognized as an immunomodulator affecting the activities of macrophages and lymphocytes. We have shown that macrophages harvested from vitamin D-deficient mice (-D MPs) exhibit impaired phagocytic and tumoricidal activities as compared with control cells (+D MPs), and that bone marrow-derived macrophage (BMDM) differentiation is modulated by 1,25(OH)2D3. The release of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) by macrophages is considered a major mechanism by which these cells exert their tumoricidal function. This cytokine was also implicated in modulation of bone resorption. In the present study we examine the role of 1,25(OH)2D3 in TNF-alpha synthesis and release. BMDMs were harvested from +D and -D mice, cultured in vitro, and their conditioned media were analyzed for the presence of TNF-alpha. BMDMs did not release measurable amounts of TNF-alpha without stimulation. Addition of endotoxin (LPS) to the cultures, resulted in a marked stimulation of TNF-alpha release. 1,25(OH)2D3 increased the stimulatory action of LPS, but failed to elicit a stimulatory effect in the absence of LPS. The use of another macrophage activator, interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma), yielded essentially similar results. +D and -D mice were injected with LPS and TNF-alpha levels in the serum were measured. A marked reduction (approximately fourfold) in the TNF-alpha levels was observed in the serum of -D mice as compared with +D mice. Western blot and immunoprecipitation analyses suggested that the main effect of 1,25(OH)2D3 is on TNF-alpha synthesis. Our findings suggest that 1,25(OH)2D3 plays a role in the regulation of TNF-alpha secretion by mononuclear phagocytes.

Abstract
The calcium-regulating hormone 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3) is recognized as an immunomodulator. Members of the macrophage-monocyte lineage are targets for 1,25(OH)2D3 action. The hormone enhances the ability of bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) to produce H2O2, increases the expression of the macrophage specific surface antigen MAC-2, increases the release of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), and inhibits BMDM proliferation. In the present study we examine the possibility that estrogen modulates 1,25(OH)2D3 effects on BMDMs. The active form, 17 beta-estradiol, failed to affect any of the BMDM functions by itself. On the other hand, 17 beta-estradiol increased the effects of 1,25(OH)2D3 production by BMDMs and on MAC-2 expression on these cells. The inactive estrogen analog 17 alpha-estradiol was unable to elicit these effects. Moreover, 17 beta-estradiol was unable to elicit these effects. Moreover, 17 beta-estradiol did not affect the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced increase in H2O2 production by BMDMs. Modulation of BMDM proliferation and TNF-alpha release from these cells by 1,25(OH)2D3 were not affected by the estrogen. The experiments were performed with BMDMs harvested from vitamin D-depleted and repleted mice, and always under similar conditions, the various functions were more pronounced in the cells derived from the repleted mice. Our data are consistent with the hypothesis that 17 beta-estradiol modulates the interactions of 1,25(OH)2D3 with BMDMs and consequently is able to affect biological responses to 1,25(OH)2D3 in these cells. We propose that this cell system is a convenient, nontransformed model for studying cellular activities of 1,25(OH)2D3.

Abstract
In the intracellular process of the action of calcitriol, vitamin D receptor is thought to undergo some kind of physiochemical change, called activation, before the receptor binds to the vitamin D response element of the gene. In this paper, the effects of polyamines and their analogues on the sedimentation properties of vitamin D receptor prepared from porcine intestinal mucosa, and on DNA binding activity of the receptor, were studied. In sucrose density gradient analysis, polyamines decreased the sedimentation coefficient of vitamin D receptor in a dose-dependent fashion. Polyamines increased DNA binding activity of vitamin D receptor dose-dependently. These findings show that polyamines can activate vitamin D receptor in vitro. Among naturally existing polyamines, spermidine and spermine, but not putrescine, were effective within their physiological intracellular concentrations, suggesting that both spermidine and spermine can activate vitamin D receptor in vivo as well. Sucrose density gradient analysis using various kinds of polyamine analogues having various numbers of cations showed that the number of cation of polyamines is important for the efficiency to change the sedimentation coefficient of vitamin D receptor, and that the distance between two cationic charges does not play an important role.

Abstract
1. Withdrawal of cholecalciferol (D3) supplement from a layers diet drastically reduced blood 25-hydroxycholecalciferol (25-OH-D3), 1 alpha,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol (calcitriol) and egg specific gravity (SG) within two weeks, followed by a decrease in blood total calcium (Ca). 2. Doubling the D3 supplement in the control diet (27.5 micrograms or 1100 IU/kg) almost linearly increased the circulating concentration of 25-OH-D3 without raising the concentration of calcitriol, Ca, or egg SG. 3. Replacing D3 by the optimal concentration of calcitriol (5 micrograms/kg diet) improved egg SG after 21 weeks of treatment without increasing blood calcitriol or total Ca. 4. By itself, 24,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol [24,25-(OH)2D3] was unable to maintain normal blood levels of calcitriol, Ca or egg SG and, when added together with calcitriol in the diet, tended to elevate blood Ca but suppress the beneficial effect of calcitriol on shell quality, with little or no effect on blood calcitriol.

Abstract
Besides its classical actions in calcium metabolism, it is clear that the hormonal form of vitamin D has many new functions, which have only been discovered as a result of following the appearance of its receptor. Furthermore, because of the vitamin D-based endocrine system, the use of vitamin D compounds in treating a variety of diseases has been expanded. We now know that 1.25-(OH)2D3 not only stimulates the intestine to absorb calcium and phosphorus, the bones to mobilize calcium and phosphorus, and the kidney to cause increased renal reabsorption of calcium, but also directly suppresses the parathyroid hormone and is a developmental hormone necessary for the recruitment of cells for osteoclast formation, for female reproduction, for development of skin, and for the treatment of certain malignant conditions.

Abstract
An experiment with a 2 x 2 factorial arrangement of treatments was used to determine differences in responses of early-maturing (EM) and late-maturing (LM) pullets fed low dietary P (.4% total P; LP) and normal dietary P (.7% total P; NP) levels. Six hundred pullets (18-wk-old) were equally and randomly allocated to the LP and NP treatments. Egg production, egg weight, egg specific gravity, and eggshell breaking strength were measured at 26 and 28 wk. When pullets were 28 wk of age, plasma total Ca (TCa), ionic Ca (Ca++), and inorganic P (Pi) concentrations, urine Ca concentrations, and urine pH, bone mineral content (BMC), bone density, total kidney weight, and kidney weight ratio (heavier kidney divided by lighter kidney) were determined from 15 pullets each from EM-NP, EM-LP, LM-NP, and LM-LP treatments. The pullets with osteoporosis and pullets that died during the experiment were categorized into EM and LM groups. Results showed that LP caused severe adverse effects on LM pullets. The LM pullets fed the LP diet had high plasma Ca++ concentration, low plasma Pi concentration, increased urine Ca concentration, a high incidence of osteoporosis, mild kidney lesions, and elevated mortality compared with pullets subjected to the other treatments. The EM pullets fed the LP diet were also adversely effected by LP, but were less susceptible to osteoporosis and mortality. The LP diet improved eggshell quality, but this beneficial effect was only temporary. The severity of adverse effects of low dietary P was greater for LM than the EM pullets.
