Efficacy and Biosafety of 25-Hydroxyvitamin D3 Biofortified in Egg Yolk in Mice Fed Two Levels of Dietary Fat.
Background: Vitamin D inadequacy remains a public health concern, particularly in obese individuals. Biofortified eggs with 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 [25(OH)D3] may increase intakes of the active metabolite of this nutrient by the public.
Objective: This study determined efficacy, biosafety, and gut microbiome impact of 25(OH)D3 biofortified in egg yolk compared with a synthetic form in mice fed a control or high-fat diet (HFD).
Methods: Reg3b+/- mice (n = 4 males + 4 females/group, 3-5 months old) were fed a control (CON) or HFD (12 or 60% kcal from fat) supplemented (per kg of diet) with 200 IU of 25(OH)D3 from the control yolk (BAS), the BAS + 500 IU of 25(OH)D3 from the synthetic form (SUP), or 700 IU of 25(OH)D3 from the biofortified yolk (YOL) for 8 weeks. Body weight, plasma concentrations of 25(OH)D3, osteocalcin, and receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa beta ligand, bone microtomography, bone-related genes and proteins, and colonic and fecal microbiome were examined. Data were analyzed by two-way analysis of variance.
Results: The HFD-YOL group had 33.4% (P < 0.01) and 39.2% (P < 0.001) higher plasma 25(OH)D3 concentrations at week 8 than the HFD-SUP and CON-YOL groups, respectively. This elevation was associated with upregulated kidney mRNA levels of cytochrome P450 24A1 (Cyp24a1) and vitamin D receptor (Vdr). Both sources of 25(OH)D3 unaltered body weights, blood glucose concentration, plasma alkaline phosphatase activity, plasma osteocalcin concentrations, or bone characteristics but altered (P < 0.05) fecal microbiome compositions.
Conclusions: Compared with the synthetic form, 25(OH)D3 in the biofortified yolk led to higher plasma 25(OH)D3 concentrations in mice fed HFD. However, such efficacy in mice fed CON and impacts on fecal microbiome were similar between the two sources of 25(OH)D3. Our finding suggests biosafety and nutritional relevance for future human study of this novel food source of 25(OH)D3.
