It is generally accepted that 3,5,3'-triiodothyronine (T3) is responsible for most of the known physiological actions of thyroid hormone. Our new rachitogenic diets, deficient in both vitamin D and iodine and low in phosphorus (1.13% calcium and 0.

To estimate the antirachitic activity of human and bovine milk, we developed a modern biochemical method for determining vitamin D metabolites in milk. Vitamin D metabolites were assayed from milk whey and from whole milk. Milk whey yielded poor recovery of both endogenous and added vitamin D, suggesting a marked loss of vitamin D activity to milk fat during homogenization and separation of the milk whey.

This procedure utilizes a methanol:methylene chloride extraction, precipitation of unwanted lipids with cold methanol and ether, backwash with alkaline buffer, silica Sep-Pak preparative chromatography, normal- and reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography with final quantitation of the antirachitic sterols by competitive protein binding assay. The described assay was used to determine these antirachitic sterols in milk from women receiving various supplements of vitamin D or undergoing ultraviolet phototherapy.

The mean (+/- SE) concentration of 25-OHD was 0.37 +/- 0.
