Elevated 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D plasma levels in normal human pregnancy and lactation.

Abstract

Plasma 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D levels are elevated in early pregnancy and continue to increase throughout pregnancy. They remain elevated postpartum in lactating women. The elevated levels probably represent a physiological response to increased calcium requirements.
