The Estimation of Vitamin D2, Vitamin D3, and Their 25-Hydroxy Metabolites in Animal Tissues and Foods (Hplc)

Nutritional and compositional studies of vitamin D have been hampered by the lack of a quick, sensitive, direct method of measuring vitamin D in tissues and foods. Past studies have relied on biological assays which are time consuming, expensive, equivocate total antirachitic activity with vitamin D levels, and are subjective. Recent physicochemical methods have been time consuming or insensitive. A fast, sensitive, objective, and direct assay is desirable.
