ABSTRACT
SCOPE The treatment of food with ultraviolet-B (UV-B) light to increase the vitamin D content is accompanied by the formation of photoisomers, such as lumisterol2 . The physiological impact of photoisomers is largely unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS:
Three groups of C57Bl/6 mice are fed diets containing 50 µg kg-1 deuterated vitamin D3 with 0, 50 (moderate-dose) or 2000 µg kg-1 (high-dose) lumisterol2 for four weeks. Considerable quantities of lumisterol2 and vitamin D2 are found in the plasma and tissues of mice fed with 2000 µg kg-1 lumisterol2 but not in those fed 0 or 50 µg kg-1 lumisterol2 . Mice fed with 2000 µg kg-1 lumisterol2 showed strongly reduced deuterated 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (-50%) and calcitriol (-80%) levels in plasma, accompanied by downregulated mRNA abundance of cytochrom P450 (Cyp)27b1 and upregulated Cyp24a1 in the kidneys. Increased tissue levels of vitamin D2 were also seen in mice in a second study that are kept on a diet with 0.2% UV-B exposed yeast versus those fed 0.2% untreated yeast containing iso-amounts of vitamin D2 .CONCLUSION:
High doses of lumisterol2 can enter the body, induce the formation of vitamin D2 , reduce the levels of 25(OH)D3 and calcitriol and strongly impact the expression of genes involved in the degradation and synthesis of bioactive vitamin D.Palavras-chave
