The vitamin D receptor, the skin and stem cells.

The active metabolite of vitamin D, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, has been shown to have pro-differentiation and antiproliferative effects on keratinocytes that are mediated by interactions with its nuclear receptor. Other cutaneous actions of the vitamin D receptor have been brought to light by the cutaneous phenotype of humans and mice with non-functional vitamin D receptors. Although mice lacking functional vitamin D receptors develop a normal first coat of hair, they exhibit impaired cyclic regeneration of hair follicles that leads to the development of alopecia. Normal hair cycling involves reciprocal interactions between the dermal papilla and the epidermal keratinocyte. Studies in mice with targeted ablation of the vitamin D receptor demonstrate that the abnormality in the hair cycle is due to a defect in the keratinocyte component of the hair follicle. Furthermore, expression of mutant vitamin D receptor transgenes in the keratinocytes of vitamin D receptor knockout mice demonstrates that the effects of the receptor that maintain hair follicle homeostasis are ligand-independent. Absence of a functional vitamin D receptor leads to impaired function of keratinocyte stem cells, both in vivo and in vitro. This is manifested by impaired cyclic regeneration of the hair follicle, a decrease in bulge keratinocyte stem cells with ageing and an abnormality in lineage progression of these cells, leading to their preferential differentiation into sebocytes.

Re: The vitamin D receptor, the skin and stem cells.
I love my vitamin D3. I am not exactly sure why, but I definitely get the feeling it was something I was missing all along. I'm thinking about upping it to 10,000IU a day on my next batch of supps.

Re: The vitamin D receptor, the skin and stem cells.
Could a lack of vitamin D be an evolutionary thing? The hair is lost in places where vitamin D is deficient and hair thrives where people are outside alot such as Africa or places where fish is eaten often such as Asia. In more industrialized areas of the world people are constantly indoors out of the sun and also fish doesnt seem to be as frequent in our diets.

Lack of vitamin D-receptors the study says ? Damn if we do
How much is 10.000 IU in terms of mg ?
