Calderol - Calcifediol

Vitamin D analogs Calcifediol (Calderol) Calcitriol (Rocaltrol) Dihydrotachysterol (DHT, Hytakerol) Ergocalciferol (Calciferol, Drisdol) Generally enhance bone formation by increasing the absorption and retention of calcium and phosphate in the body useful in treating disorders caused by vitamin D deficiency, including hypocalcemia, hypophosphatemia, rickets, and osteomalacia... [Pg.468]

Derived from cholesterol, vitamin D is biosynthesized from its prohormone cholecalciferol (Ds), the product of solar ultraviolet irradiation of 7-dehydrocholesterol in the skin (2). In 1966, it was first recognized that vitamin D must undergo activation via two oxidative metabolic steps (Fig. 35.2). The first oxidation to 25-hydroxycholecalciferol (25(OH)D3 calcifediol Calderol) occurs in the endoplasmic reticulum of the liver and is catalyzed by vitamin D 25-hydroxylase. This activation step is not... [Pg.1403]
