Serum vitamin D metabolites and other parameters of mineral metabolism were measured in 12 patients with anorexia nervosa. Serum concentrations of calcium, phosphate, albumin, alkaline phosphatase, parathyroid hormone, calcitonin, osteocalcin, and 24-hours calcium excretion were normal. Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) concentration was similar in patients and normal subjects, whereas 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25(OH)2D) levels were significantly reduced in patients (62 +/- 17 vs 82 +/- 17 pmol/l); p less than 0.05). The concentration of vitamin D-binding protein (DBP) in patients was normal, but serum binding capacity (Nmax) was diminished in anorectic patients (2.05 +/- 0.50 vs 2.53 +/- 0.51 mumol/l; p less than 0.05). The diminished serum binding capacity, in spite of normal concentrations of albumin and DBP, reflects the presence of qualitative rather than quantitative defects in serum transport proteins. Since the reduction in 1,25(OH)2D and serum binding capacity was quantitatively similar, it is likely that free 1,25(OH)2D levels would be normal.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D011863 Radioimmunoassay Classic quantitative assay for detection of antigen-antibody reactions using a radioactively labeled substance (radioligand) either directly or indirectly to measure the binding of the unlabeled substance to a specific antibody or other receptor system. Non-immunogenic substances (e.g., haptens) can be measured if coupled to larger carrier proteins (e.g., bovine gamma-globulin or human serum albumin) capable of inducing antibody formation. Radioimmunoassays

D000328 Adult A person having attained full growth or maturity. Adults are of 19 through 44 years of age. For a person between 19 and 24 years of age, YOUNG ADULT is available. Adults
D000856 Anorexia Nervosa An eating disorder that is characterized by the lack or loss of APPETITE, known as ANOREXIA. Other features include excess fear of becoming OVERWEIGHT; BODY IMAGE disturbance; significant WEIGHT LOSS; refusal to maintain minimal normal weight; and AMENORRHEA. This disorder occurs most frequently in adolescent females. (APA, Thesaurus of Psychological Index Terms, 1994) Anorexia Nervosas,Nervosa, Anorexia,Nervosas, Anorexia
D014807 Vitamin D A vitamin that includes both CHOLECALCIFEROLS and ERGOCALCIFEROLS, which have the common effect of preventing or curing RICKETS in animals. It can also be viewed as a hormone since it can be formed in SKIN by action of ULTRAVIOLET RAYS upon the precursors, 7-dehydrocholesterol and ERGOSTEROL, and acts on VITAMIN D RECEPTORS to regulate CALCIUM in opposition to PARATHYROID HORMONE.
D014809 Vitamin D-Binding Protein An alpha-globulin found in the plasma of man and other vertebrates. It is apparently synthesized in the liver and carries vitamin D and its metabolites through the circulation and mediates the response of tissue. It is also known as group-specific component (Gc). Gc subtypes are used to determine specific phenotypes and gene frequencies. These data are employed in the classification of population groups, paternity investigations, and in forensic medicine.
