Study Summary

Optimal Vitamin D dosing to obtain adequate serum concentrations of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) is controversial. The optimal dose and dosing interval is unknown, and the tendency over the last few years is to give higher, less frequent doses. Disease-specific dosing is of interest, and there may be optimal serum concentration targets based on disease process. The best evidence so far is for optimal bone health, where most experts agree that 25OHD serum concentration should be above 30 ng/ml. There is mounting evidence that Vitamin D therapy will reduce inflammatory response and macrophage activation. The optimal dosing needed to decrease the inflammatory response is unclear, although our recent mouse model has demonstrated that a onetime high dose is effective. The investigators therefore hypothesize that a one-time high dose of cholecalciferol will be effective in suppression of macrophage production of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFa) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). The purpose of this pilot study is to assess the optimum dosage for the most macrophage suppression.
