B-001 Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D and C-3 epimer concentrations throughout gestation in a bovine dairy herd
Background Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) serves as an indicator of vitamin D status in most animal species. The recent identification of its C-3 epimer, 3-epi-25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (3-epi-25(OH)D3) remains diagnostically confounding. The appearance of this epimer in blood serum has been reported for both pregnant women and infants; however, because of its recent discovery, its physiologic role, biochemical regulation, and overall biologic importance have yet to be fully elucidated. Given its prevalence in pregnant women, it was hypothesized that 3-epi-25(OH)D3 may serve as a novel predictive biomarker of pregnancy in animals.

期刊介绍:
Clinical Chemistry is a peer-reviewed scientific journal that is the premier publication for the science and practice of clinical laboratory medicine. It was established in 1955 and is associated with the Association for Diagnostics & Laboratory Medicine (ADLM).
The journal focuses on laboratory diagnosis and management of patients, and has expanded to include other clinical laboratory disciplines such as genomics, hematology, microbiology, and toxicology. It also publishes articles relevant to clinical specialties including cardiology, endocrinology, gastroenterology, genetics, immunology, infectious diseases, maternal-fetal medicine, neurology, nutrition, oncology, and pediatrics.
In addition to original research, editorials, and reviews, Clinical Chemistry features recurring sections such as clinical case studies, perspectives, podcasts, and Q&A articles. It has the highest impact factor among journals of clinical chemistry, laboratory medicine, pathology, analytical chemistry, transfusion medicine, and clinical microbiology.
The journal is indexed in databases such as MEDLINE and Web of Science.
