Please note, this OEL/ADE monograph also applies to cholecalciferol (CAS RN 67-97-0 ), calcifediol (CAS RN 19356-17-3), and calcifediol monohydrate (CAS RN 63283-36-3). WARNING - Adverse effects from occupational exposure to vitamin D3 have been occurred. Cholecalciferol is used to prevent vitamin D deficiency or rickets. Vitamin D3 is hydroxylated in the kidney to yield 1,25- dihydroxycholecalciferol, or calcitriol, which is a physiologic regulator of calcium absorption. The principal biologic function of vitamin D is to maintain serum calcium and phosphorus concentrations within the normal range by enhancing the efficiency of the small intestine to absorb these minerals from the diet. Calcitriol (activated vitamin D) enhances the efficiency of intestinal calcium absorption along the entire small intestine, but principally in the duodenum and jejunum. Calcitriol also enhances phosphorus absorption along the entire small intestine, but principally in the jejunum and ileum. The activated forms of ergocalciferol, doxercalciferol, and cholecalciferol may have a negative feedback effect on parathyroid hormone production. The most two important mechanisms by which vitamin D acts to maintain normal concentration of calcium and phosphate in plasma are to facilitate their absorption by the small intestine and to enhance their mobilization from bone.
