Abstract
Many human diseases have previously been characterized by their sensitivity or resistance to vitamin D, although direct information about mechanisms has been lacking. The development and application of radioisotopic materials and specific quantitative assays for vitamin D sterols have permitted direct analyses of vitamin D metabolism in patients affected by these diseases. Since there have been reviews of vitamin D metabolism in recent years (1–3), I shall confine this review to more recent studies of conditions which reflect inherited or birth-related, and acquired difficulties in vitamin D sterols’ supply, metabolism and biological effects.
