About this document
Vitamin D Metabolism Explained by mawaddaalwirfalli is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Vitamin D production begins in the skin when sunlight converts 7-dehydrocholesterol into vitamin D3. This vitamin D3 is then processed in the liver to form 25-hydroxyvitamin D, which is stored, before being converted in the kidneys to the active hormone 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, or calcitriol.
