Abstract: | The isolation and identification of two metabolites of vitamin D2 found in mammalian and avian species are reported. They are 24-hydroxyvitamin D2 and 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D2. Their existence suggests that 24-hydroxylation occurs in a sterospecific manner in the 24R position and adds further support to the theory that vitamin D2 metabolism qualitatively parallels that of vitamin D3. |
