The influence of the serum binding protein (DBP) for vitamin D and its metabolites on the concentration of its main ligands, 25-hydroxyvitamin D(3) (25-OHD(3)) and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) (1,25-[OH](2)D(3)) was studied. The concentration of both 1,25-(OH)(2)D(3) and DBP in normal female subjects (45+/-14 ng/liter and 333+/-58 mg/liter, mean+/-SD, respectively; n = 58) increased during the intake of estro-progestogens (69+/-27 ng/liter and 488+/-90 mg/liter, respectively; n = 29), whereas the 25-OHD(3) concentration remained unchanged. A positive correlation was found between the concentrations of 1,25-(OH)(2)D(3) and DBP in these women. At the end of pregnancy, the total concentrations of 1,25-(OH)(2)D(3) (97+/-26 ng/liter, n = 40) and DBP (616+/-84 mg/liter) are both significantly higher than in nonpregnant females and paired cord serum samples (48+/-11 ng/liter and 266+/-41 mg/liter, respectively). A marked seasonal variation of 25-OHD(3) was observed in pregnant females and their infants, whereas in the same samples the concentrations of both DBP and 1,25-(OH)(2)D(3) remained constant throughout the year. The free 1,25-(OH)(2)D(3) index, calculated as the molar ratio of this steroid and DBP, remains normal in women taking estro-progestogens, however, and this might explain their normal intestinal calcium absorption despite a high total 1,25-(OH)(2)D(3) concentration. In pregnancy the free 1,25-(OH)(2)D(3) index remains normal up to 35 wk of gestation, but during the last weeks of gestation, the free 1,25-(OH)(2)D(3) index increases in both circulations. A highly significant correlation exists between the (total and free) 25-OHD(3) and 1,25-(OH)(2)D(3) concentrations in maternal and cord serum both at 35 and 40 wk of gestation.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D011247 Pregnancy The status during which female mammals carry their developing young (EMBRYOS or FETUSES) in utero before birth, beginning from FERTILIZATION to BIRTH. Gestation,Pregnancies
D011485 Protein Binding The process in which substances, either endogenous or exogenous, bind to proteins, peptides, enzymes, protein precursors, or allied compounds. Specific protein-binding measures are often used as assays in diagnostic assessments. Plasma Protein Binding Capacity,Binding, Protein
D002117 Calcitriol The physiologically active form of vitamin D. It is formed primarily in the kidney by enzymatic hydroxylation of 25-hydroxycholecalciferol (CALCIFEDIOL). Its production is stimulated by low blood calcium levels and parathyroid hormone. Calcitriol increases intestinal absorption of calcium and phosphorus, and in concert with parathyroid hormone increases bone resorption. 1 alpha,25-Dihydroxycholecalciferol,1 alpha,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3,1, 25-(OH)2D3,1,25(OH)2D3,1,25-Dihydroxycholecalciferol,1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3,1 alpha, 25-dihydroxy-20-epi-Vitamin D3,1,25(OH)2-20epi-D3,1,25-dihydroxy-20-epi-Vitamin D3,20-epi-1alpha,25-dihydroxycholecaliferol,Bocatriol,Calcijex,Calcitriol KyraMed,Calcitriol-Nefro,Decostriol,MC-1288,MC1288,Osteotriol,Renatriol,Rocaltrol,Silkis,Sitriol,Soltriol,Tirocal,1 alpha,25 Dihydroxyvitamin D3,1,25 Dihydroxycholecalciferol,1,25 Dihydroxyvitamin D3,1,25 dihydroxy 20 epi Vitamin D3,Calcitriol Nefro,D3, 1 alpha,25-Dihydroxyvitamin,D3, 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin,D3, 1,25-dihydroxy-20-epi-Vitamin,KyraMed, Calcitriol,MC 1288

D005865 Gestational Age The age of the conceptus, beginning from the time of FERTILIZATION. In clinical obstetrics, the gestational age is often estimated from the onset of the last MENSTRUATION which is about 2 weeks before OVULATION and fertilization. It is also estimated to begin from fertilization, estrus, coitus, or artificial insemination.
