I'm a physician doctor with an MD degree. My passion for teaching has always been appreciated by students with whom I have shared my knowledge. I'm a passionate teacher of medical biochemistry and would like to share my knowledge about this beautiful subject with all those who is interested to learn to understand the cellular metabolic events and to understand the metabolic disease process. I would like to learn new things by keeping myself updated with current research in the field. Let us share the knowledge each other!!

Vitamin D - Activation, Function, Regulation


In this video I have explained the activation of vitamin D in the liver and kidney by hydroxylation process. Regulation of active vitamin D3 by PTH (parathyroid hormone), 24-hydroxylase and active vitamin D itself. Main function of vitamin D is to regulate calcium and phosphate levels in the blood. Other functions of vitamin D have been revealed by recent research like its role in preventing tumor formation, immune mechanism, insulin sensitivity.
Sunlight exposure is the source of vitamin D from our skin.
