单词 vitamin D
释义
vitamin D

Chemistry
  • A fat-soluble vitamin occurring in the form of two steroid derivatives: vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol, or calciferol), found in yeast; and vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), which occurs in animals. Vitamin D2 is formed from a steroid by the action of ultraviolet light and D3 is produced by the action of sunlight on a cholesterol derivative in the skin. Fish-liver oils are the major dietary source. The active form of vitamin D is manufactured in response to the secretion of parathyroid hormone, which occurs when blood calcium levels are low. It causes increased uptake of calcium from the gut, which increases the supply of calcium for bone synthesis. Vitamin D deficiency causes rickets in growing animals and osteomalacia in mature animals. Both conditions are characterized by weak deformed bones.

Biology
  • A fat-soluble vitamin occurring in the form of two steroid derivatives: vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol, or calciferol), found in yeast; and vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), which occurs in animals. Vitamin D2 is formed from a steroid by the action of ultraviolet light and D3 is produced by the action of sunlight on a cholesterol derivative in the skin. Fish-liver oils are the major dietary source. The active form of vitamin D (calcitriol) is manufactured in the kidneys in response to the secretion of parathyroid hormone, which occurs when blood calcium levels are low. It causes increased uptake of calcium from the gut and promotes calcium reabsorption by the kidneys, thereby increasing the supply of calcium for bone synthesis. Vitamin D deficiency causes rickets in growing animals and softening of bones (osteomalacia) in mature animals. Both conditions are characterized by weak deformed bones.
