摘要
Vitamin D which is formed upon UV solar radiation in human skin is essential in many physiological functions. To estimate benefi cial vitamin-D-synthetic capacity of sunlight a bio-equivalent UV dosimeter that is based on the same molecular photochemistry from which vitamin D is photosynthesized in human skin has been developed. The examples of an in situ monitoring of the vitamin-D-synthetic capacity of sunlight using an in vitro model of vitamin D synthesis are presented, and various operational principles of the UV biodosimeter are discussed. In addition, reliable algorithm is presented for direct calculation of previtamin D-3 accumulation using the photoreaction mathematical model with solar UV spectra as input data. Critical dependence of previtamin D-3 accumulation on cloudiness and aerosols is demonstrated.
