Abstract: Um den Vitamin D-Mangel zu bekämpfen, sind alternative Strategien erforderlich. Daher wurde in dieser Arbeit das Potenzial von UVB-bestrahlten Pflanzenölen zur Verbesserung des Vitamin-D-Status untersucht. Pflanzenöle, insbesondere Weizenkeimöl (WGO), enthalten hohe Konzentrationen der Vitamin D-Vorstufe Ergosterol, die unter UVB-Exposition in Vitamin D2 umgewandelt werden kann. UVB-exponiertes WGO konnte die Konzentration des Serumparameters 25-Hydroxyvitamin D2 (25(OH)D2) bei Mäusen und Menschen erhöhen. Im Menschen kam es jedoch zu einer gleichzeitigen Abnahme der 25(OH)D3-Level, was letztlich zu keiner Verbesserung des Vitamin-D-Status führte. Studien zeigten, dass sich Vitamin D2 und D3 in ihren Stoffwechselwegen unterscheiden, was darauf hindeutet, dass Vitamin D2 beim Menschen weniger effizient sein könnte. Der Verzehr hoher Konzentrationen von Ergosterol in Pflanzenölen könnte jedoch von Vorteil sein, da es die Vitamin D3-Konzentration in den Gewebespeichern erhöht.
To combat vitamin D deficiency, alternative strategies are needed. The current thesis examined the potential of UVB-exposed plant oils to improve vitamin D status. Plant oils, in particular wheat germ oil (WGO), contain high concentrations of the vitamin D precursor ergosterol, which can be transformed to vitamin D2 under ultraviolet light B (UVB)-exposure. UVB-exposed WGO was able to increase the concentration of the serum parameter 25-hydroxyvitamin D2 (25(OH)D2) in mice and in humans. However, humans responded with a decrease in 25(OH)D3, which ultimately led to no improvement of the vitamin D status. Studies showed, that vitamin D2 and D3 differ in their metabolic routes, suggesting that vitamin D2 might be less efficient in humans. However, the consumption of high concentrations of ergosterol in plant oils might be beneficial, as ergosterol was shown to increase the tissue vitamin D3 concentrations.
