Is Vitamin D2 Treatment-associated Decrease in 25(OH)D3 Level a Reciprocal Phenomena?
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Several studies have demonstrated that D2 treatment is associated with a decrease in 25(OH)D3 level and therefore have proposed that D3 would be preferable in term of raising total 25(OH)D level. The investigators postulate that the D2 treatment-associated decrease in 25(OH)D3 level may be related to an increase in total 25(OH)D level rather than being specific to D2 treatment, and thus there would be a D3 treatment-associated decrease in 25(OH)D2 level.
The investigators plan to conduct a double-blind placebo-controlled trial to examine the effect of D3 treatment on 25(OH)D2 level and the effect of D2 treatment on 25(OH)D3 leve

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- ANCOVA-adjusted, mean D2-induced change in 25(OH)D3 level group-1 [day 28]
- ANCOVA-adjusted, mean D3-induced change in 25(OH)D2 level in group-2 [day 28]
Secondary Outcome Measures
- ANCOVA-adjusted, mean D2-induced change in 25(OH)D3 level group-1 [day 56]
- ANCOVA-adjusted, mean D3-induced change in 25(OH)D2 level in group-2 [day 56]
- Pearson correlation between changes in 25(OH)D3 level in the active arm of group-1 and baseline total 25(OH)D level [day 28]
- Pearson correlation between changes in 25(OH)D2 level in the active arm of group-2 and baseline total 25(OH)D level [day 28]
- Pearson correlation between changes in 25(OH)D3 level and 25(OH)D2 level in the active arm of each group [day 28]
