  • Title: End product inhibition of hepatic 25-hydroxyvitamin D production in the rat: specificity and kinetics.
    Author: Milne ML, Baran DT.
    Journal: Arch Biochem Biophys; 1985 Nov 01; 242(2):488-92. PubMed ID: 3877493.
    Abstract:
    The role of vitamin D metabolites in the regulation of hepatic 25-hydroxyvitamin D production was investigated by examining the effects of 25-hydroxyvitamin D, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, and 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D on the synthesis of [25-3H]hydroxyvitamin D by rachitic rat liver homogenates. Production of [25-3H]hydroxyvitamin D was inhibited by 25-hydroxyvitamin D and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, but not by 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D. 25-Hydroxyvitamin D increased the Km of the vitamin D-25-hydroxylase enzyme(s), while 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D decreased the Vmax with a Ki of 88.7 ng/ml. Inhibition of hepatic 25-hydroxyvitamin D production by 25-hydroxyvitamin D and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D may be another control mechanism to regulate circulating vitamin D levels.
