title: The synthesis of dihydroxylated vitamin D metabolites by human renal mitochondria.
abstract: Mitochondrial preparations from 4 human kidneys produced 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol and 24,25 dihydroxycholecalciferol at rates of 0.019 - 0.114 and 0.029 - 0.164 pmol/mg/min respectively at a 25-hydroxycholecalciferol concentration of 1 mumol per litre. Mitochondria from a fifth kidney failed to produce either metabolite.
