Biochem/physiol Actions

Ergocalciferol (vitamin D2) is activated in vivo by hydroxylation to 25-hydroxyergocalciferol and 1α,25-dihydroxycalciferol. Activated Vitamin D2 molecules may be used in a wide range of studies to assess their effects on functions such as immune function and calcium homeostasis.

Amin Salehpour et al.
Nutrition journal, 11, 78-78 (2012-09-25)
Vitamin D concentrations are linked to body composition indices, particularly body fat mass. Relationships between hypovitaminosis D and obesity, described by both BMI and waist circumference, have been mentioned. We have investigated the effect of a 12-week vitamin D3 supplementation
Peter F Schnatz et al.
Clinical chemistry, 60(4), 600-609 (2013-11-07)
Supplementation with vitamin D has received attention as a potential cardioprotective strategy. Biologically plausible mechanisms have been proposed to link vitamin D to coronary heart disease (CHD) prevention, and observational studies suggest an inverse association between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD)
Kevin D Cashman et al.
The British journal of nutrition, 112(2), 193-202 (2014-05-02)
It has been suggested that vitamin D₂ is not very prevalent in the human food chain. However, data from a number of recent intervention studies suggest that the majority of subjects had measurable serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D₂ (25(OH)D₂) concentrations. Serum 25(OH)D₂
