Human skin-derived VD3 is produced from 7-dehydroxycholesterol upon exposure to ultraviolet B radiation (UVB, wavelength 290â315 nm). As a fat-soluble vitamin, dietary vitamin D is incorporated into chylomicrons and transported via lymphatics into the venous circulation. Some of the dietary vitamin D is extracted by adipose tissue and muscle, but the remainder and most of the endogenously synthesised vitamin D is transported to the liver.
