[Immunocorrecting properties and effect on the phosphorus-calcium metabolism of oxidevit (1 alpha-hydroxyvitamin D3)]
Abstract:
Effect of oxidevite (I alpha-hydroxyvitamin D3) on the patterns of immunity system and metabolism of calcium and phosphorus were studied in 45 patients with chronic bronchitis, which, were treated with the drug at doses of 2 or 4 micrograms during 1 or 2 weeks. Specific patterns of calcium and phosphorus metabolism were altered in the patients depending on dose of the drug and duration of the course treatment. The dose of 4 micrograms per a day within 2 weeks was excessive. All the immunity patterns studied involving amount of total and rosette-forming cells, T-lymphocyte helpers and T-lymphocyte suppressors, B lymphocytes, were normalized independently on the initial level of these patterns: the elevated values decreased, the decreased values-increased. The normal values of the immunity patterns studied were not altered during the oxidevite treatment course. Content of blood inorganic phosphorus correlated with leukocytes dynamics.

Role of Skin in Vitamin D Synthesis
The solar UV B rays (290-315 nm) are absorbed by the skin, and 7-dehydrocholesterol (provitamin D3) photolyzes it to previtamin D3, which undergoes a rapid transformation to vitamin D3(cholecalciferol).

Calcium and Phosphorus
Calcium is a critical component of bones, especially in the form of calcium phosphate and calcium carbonate. Since the body cannot make calcium, it must be obtained from the diet. However, calcium cannot be absorbed from the small intestine without...

Hormones That Influence Osteoblasts and/or Maintain the Matrix
Several hormones are necessary for controlling bone growth and maintaining the bone matrix. The pituitary gland secretes growth hormone (GH), which, as its name implies, controls bone growth. This happens in several ways: first, it triggers chondrocyte...

Vitamin A
Vitamin A is involved in the process of bone remodeling. Retinoic acid, the active metabolite of Vitamin A, has nuclear receptors in osteoblasts and osteoclasts, which are involved in bone remodeling.
