Vitamina D (
Calciferol) in Biodisponibilidade de Nutrientes.
A precursor of vitamin D, 7-dehydrocholesterol, is naturally present in the human skin; it is transformed to
calciferol by the action of ultraviolet light, and this compound is metabolized in the liver and kidney to active vitamin D (1, 25 dihydrocholecalciferol) itself.

calciferol, [D.sub.2]) and pregnenolone derivatives and, therefore, can be useful starting materials for various sex steroids and corticosteroids.
The presence of dietary factors could partly explain the discrepancy in the results: the low levels of circulating 1,25(OH)2D are found mainly in the North European population which, in contrast to the American population, rarely consumes milk containing supplementary
calciferol.

Cod liver oil and

that reported "all-trans retinoic acid [an activated form of vitamin A] antagonizes the action of
calciferol [activated vitamin D] and its active metabolite, 1, 25-dihydroxycholecalciferol, in rats." In a January 2010 rebuttal to the commentary, Linda Linday, MD, and colleagues point out that Rohde's research used very high vitamin A:D ratios.
Phytase, citric acid, and 1[alpha]-hydroxychole-

Calciferol was used to treat tuberculosis in the late 1940s and treatment was rationalised based on its role in the calcification of tuberculosis lesions.
