| She was discharged to the Health Centre with the recommendation to prescribe ergocalciferol and calcium. |
|
| Participants were called during their 2-month ergocalciferol courses to ensure adherence to the regimen and reinforce need for follow-up levels. |
|
| No clinical characteristics predictive of response to the ergocalciferol regimen could be identified. |
|
| Antibacterial activity of long chain fatty acids and the reversal with calcium, magnesium, ergocalciferol and cholesterol. |
|
| This is true not only for cholecalciferol and ergocalciferol obtained from the diet but also for cholecalciferol that is generated from 7-dehydrocholesterol in the skin during exposure to ultraviolet light. |
|
| Ergosterol is converted by ultraviolet irradiation into ergocalciferol, or vitamin D2, a nutritional factor that promotes proper bone development in humans and other mammals. |
|
| We don't naturally generate D2, or ergocalciferol, which is derived in supplement form by irradiating yeast and fungus. |
|
| Also known as ergocalciferol, this form is manufactured by UV irradiation of ergosterol from yeast. |
|
| Vitamin D3, or cholecalciferol, is more readily absorbed by the body and more potent than vitamin D2, or ergocalciferol, the form often found in multivitamins. |
|
| Ergocalciferol had similar efficacy to calcitriol but appeared inferior to alendronate in sustaining or improving bone mass for patients on glucocorticoids. |
