Objective: Variability in 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) change following vitamin D supplementation exists. Vitamin D metabolite measurement might assist in predicting 25(OH)D response and also contribute to defining vitamin D adequacy. This study assessed utility of vitamin D metabolite measurements to predict 25(OH)D response and explored the relationship between parathyroid hormone (PTH) and a "vitamin D composite index" comprised of the sum of serum 25(OH) D, cholecalciferol (vitamin D) and 24,25 dihydroxyvitamin D (24,25(OH)D).
Methods: Sixty-two postmenopausal women were randomized to daily vitamin D 1,800 IU or placebo for 4 months. Blood was drawn at baseline and after 1 and 4 months. Serum 25(OH)D, vitamin D, and 24,25(OH)D were measured by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectroscopy. Free 25(OH)D and PTH were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Repeated measures analysis of variance and regression analyses were performed.
Results: Baseline 25(OH)D was positively correlated (P<.05) with vitamin D3, 24,25(OH)D and free 25(OH) D. Daily vitamin D supplementation increased all metabolites (P<.001). Substantial individual variability in 25(OH) D change at 4 months was observed but was unrelated to baseline vitamin D, 25(OH)D or 24,25(OH)D. Only body mass index, body weight, and body fat mass was associated with 25(OH)D change at 4 months. The vitamin D composite score was associated with serum PTH, but this association was similar to that observed with 25(OH) D alone.
Conclusion: This study does not support measurement of vitamin D metabolites in a composite index to assist in prediction of 25(OH)D response to supplementation. Overweight individuals have less robust 25(OH) D response to supplementation, but variability precludes prediction of the result following daily supplementation.

Cellulosic nanomaterials have significantly promoted the development of sensing devices, drug delivery, and bioreactor processes. Their synthetic flexibility makes them a prominent choice for immobilizing biomolecules or cells. In this work, we developed a practical and user-friendly approach to accessing cellulose nanoparticles (CNPs).

Vitamin B (cobalamin, herein B) is a key cofactor for most organisms being involved in essential metabolic processes. In microbial communities, B is often scarce, largely because only few prokaryotes can synthesize B and are thus considered B-prototrophs. B-auxotrophy is mostly manifested by the absence of the B-independent methionine synthase, MetE.

Memory formation is associated with constant modifications of neuronal networks and synaptic plasticity gene expression in response to different environmental stimuli and experiences. Dysregulation of synaptic plasticity gene expression affects memory during aging and neurodegenerative diseases. Covalent modifications such as methylation on DNA and acetylation on histones regulate the transcription of synaptic plasticity genes.

Background: Vascular calcification (VC) commonly occurs in diabetes and is associated with cardiovascular disease incidence and mortality. Currently, there is no drug treatment for VC. The Danlian-Tongmai formula (DLTM) is a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) prescription used for diabetic VC (DVC), but its mechanisms of action remain unclear.
