Vitamin D3 is first metabolized to 25 hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD), then to the hormonal form 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D. This active form of the vitamin is necessary to prevent rickets and osteomalacia through increased absorption of calcium and phosphate. 25OHD levels are typically lower in obese individuals who are more likely to develop diabetes and the metabolic syndrome. Pancreatic β cells express the receptor for vitamin D and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D promotes insulin secretion. Vitamin D also promotes the innate immune response by inducing the antimicrobial peptide, cathelicidin.
