The biological activity of the vitamin D»metabolite 1,25-dihydroxy cholee alcif eroi was assessed in three experiments in the chick and two experiments in the rachide rat. In the official rat line test 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol was found to be equally as active as an equivalent dose of cholecalciferol. Doses of 20 to 250 pmoles (0.01 to 0.10 Mg) of l,25-dihydroxy-[26,27-sH] cholecalciferol or standard amounts of cholecalciferol were fed daily to White Leghorn cockerels for 3 weeks after hatching. The following vitamin D-related responses were measured: a) the rate of growth; b) intestinal transport of test doses of "Cas+ in vivo and c) in vitro; d) percentage bone ash; e) serum calcium elevation. For each of these assays the 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol was judged to be "much more active" a) "more active" (b,d), and "as active" (c,e), as the parent cholecalciferol, where "much more active" is a response 2 to 4 times and "more active" is a response 1 to 2 times that obtained with an equivalent dose of cholecalciferol. In some instances (d,e), the relative increment of response mediated by 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol was greater at the low dose level (20 pmoles/day) than at a higher dose level (100 pmoles/day). The relative activity determination of 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol, obtained after daily administra tion, in comparison with cholecalciferol was markedly less than that previously obtained when the activity of single doses of these steroids were analyzed. A single dose of 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol was 4.4 ±1.1 (SE) [Science 171: 79 (1971)] times as effective as cholecalciferol in stimulating the intestinal absorp tion of Ca2+, and 5.5 ±1.4 (SE) [J. Biol. Chem. 247: 5728 (1972)] times as effective as cholecalciferol in stimulating serum Caa+ elevation. These results collectively support the concept that 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol is the most highly potent form of Vitamin Ds yet known. J. Nutr. 102: 1709-1718, 1972. INDEXING
