Component
Serum 25(OH)D3 to D3 ratio
Study-defined Serum 25(OH)D3 to D3 ratio. Read each linked record for species, exposure and endpoint.
1 recorded relationships. Experimental role, claim status and evidence remain attached to each record.
How nutrients influence it
Every nutrient with a recorded effect on this component, credited to the nutrient that acted rather than the chapter that recorded it. Open a nutrient to see the findings and the conditions they were measured under.
Other things that act on it
Enzymes, hormones, genes, and other components with a recorded effect. These are not nutrients, so they do not count toward the arrows above. Each finding names the chapter that recorded it.
How nutrients reach it in more than one step
Chains of two or more recorded steps that end here, grouped by the nutrient they start from. Each step is a separate finding, so a chain is a route a mechanism could take, not proof that it does.

What it does
Every recorded relationship this component is part of, grouped by its role. Plain wording comes first; the technical statement follows.
What acts on it
After D2, the mean 25(OH)D3: D3 ratio decreased and was lower than after D3.
Experimental context and source evidence
- cross_nutrient
- false
- experimental_model
- 52-person metabolite-profile subset of a 340-person randomized trial; four 2.5 mg oral D2/D3 boluses over 4 months
- exposure
- Four oral 2.5 mg D2 or D3 bolus doses over 4 months.
- limitations
- Metabolite-to-parent ratios integrate production, binding, distribution and clearance; they are not an isolated CYP activity assay.
- nutrient_topic
- Vitamin D2 and D3 research collection; topical membership is not evidence of a direct dietary effect. · Vitamin D2 and D3
- organism
- Homo sapiens
- plain_language
- The metabolite-to-parent ratio changed, suggesting altered handling of D3.
