Vitamin D3 for humans is primarily produced in the skin through ultraviolet irradiation, and a significant portion of it exists in the esterified form. These esterified vitamin D3 make up a large fraction of tissue vitamin D3 in mice, but are hydrolyzed before being transported into the circulation.
The primary source of vitamin D3 for humans is that produced in skin by ultraviolet irradiation. Ultraviolet (UV) B (UVB, 280-310 nm) light causes the isomerization of 7-dehydrocholesterol (7-DHC) to pre-vitamin D3 that is thermally isomerized to vitamin D3. In addition to free vitamin D3, it has been previously reported that esterified vitamin D3 is also found in the skin of rats irradiated with UVB. We found that a large fraction of the vitamin D3 precursor, 7-dehydrocholesterol is in the esterified form. Following UVB irradiation, vitamin D3 esters represent the majority of tissue vitamin D3, comprising approximately 80% in mice. Examination of vitamin D3 ester transport from skin in DBP-/- mice demonstrated that skin vitamin D3 ester content decreased only in the presence of DBP. No significant binding of vitamin D3 esters by serum was observed and no vitamin D3 esters were detectable in mouse serum after UVB treatment, indicating that the esters are hydrolyzed prior to transport into the circulation. The significance of vitamin D3 esters and their hydrolysis is the subject of current investigation. [GRAPHICS] .
