1alpha,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol [1alpha,25(OH)2D3], the active form of cholecalciferol, is a negative growth regulator of breast cancer cells. CYP27B1 is a cytochrome P450-containing hydroxylase expressed in kidney and other tissues that generates 1alpha,25(OH)2D3 from an inactive vitamin D precursor 25-hydroxycholecalciferol [25(OH)D3]. In

Analytical techniques used to quantify neurosteroids in biological samples are often compromised by non-specificity and limited dynamic range which can result in erroneous results. A relatively rapid and inexpensive gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was developed to simultaneously measure nine neurosteroids

The major circulating form of vitamin D is 25-hydroxycholecalciferol [25(OH)D3], which is delivered to target tissues in complex with the serum vitamin D binding protein (DBP). We recently observed that mammary cells can metabolize 25(OH)D3 to 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol [1,25(OH)(2)D3], the vitamin

Cholecalciferol must be regarded as a pro-hormone rather than a vitamin, since it is normally produced in skin under the influence of ultraviolet light. Cholecalciferol must be metabolized in liver to 25-hydroxycholecalciferol and subsequently to 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol before it can act
