3) and subsequently in the kidney to 1, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D 3 (1, 25-(OH) 2 D 3) before it
can function. Because 1, 25-(OH) 2 D 3 is formed in the kidney and acts in intestine and
bone to elevate serum calcium and phosphate concentrations, it can be considered a
hormone. The production of 1, 25-(OH) 2 D 3 is feedback regulated either directly or
indirectly by serum calcium and serum phosphate concentrations. The hypocalcemic …
