Background: Uncertainty exists about the impact of placental vit D metabolism on mother's blood levels of vit D in people. Objective: Awareness of placental vit D metabolism and how it affects the amount of vit D metabolites in mother's blood was one of the goals of this investigation. Methods: To take part in a 14-week controlled feeding experiment, 27 third-trimester singleton pregnant women in good health from Hayatabad Medical Complex during Jan 2022 to April 2022. Female trophoblasts in vitro were further treated using Vitamin D3-13C to investigate the synthesis of vit D intermediates. Results: In maternal tissue, there was a substantial connection between 24,25-Dihydroxycholecalciferol and 25-hydroxyvitamin D. These placental metabolites were also closely connected to the corresponding compounds found in maternal circulation. 3-epi-25-Hydroxyvitamin D3 and low density lipoprotein-related protein 2 with 25-hydroxyvitamin D; CYP2R1 with 3-epi-25-Hydroxyvitamin D3; Cubilin (CUBN) with 25-hydroxyvitamin D; CYP27B1 with 3-epi-25-Hydroxyvitamin D3 and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D and CYP24A1 with 25-hydroxyvitamin D, 24,25-Dihydroxycholecalciferol all showed positive relationships. Conclusion: Strong relationships between the levels of circulating vit D metabolites in pregnancy and a number of placental markers of vit D metabolism suggest the hypothesis that the profile of vit D metabolites in mother's blood is altered by the placenta. Keywords: 24,25-Dihydroxycholecalciferol (24,25(OH)2D3), 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D3), 3-epi-25-Hydroxyvitamin D3 (epi-25(OH)D3), CYP2R1, CYP24A1
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
