A liquid chromatography/thermospray mass spectrometry method has been developed and used to measure the plasma levels and half‐life of 25‐hydroxyvitamin D 3 in adults. The mean plasma levels of 25‐hydroxyvitamin D 3 averaged 40 ng ml −1 ( n = 4) in summer and 30 ng ml −1 ( n = 6) in winter. The method was also used to determine the half‐life of serum 5‐hydroxyvitamin D 3 in subjects maintained on either high or low‐fiber diets who had been given an intravenous infusion of (6,19,19‐ 2 H 3 )25‐hydroxyvitamin D 3 sufficient to label 5% of their estimated body pools. The half‐life was determined to be 10.4 days ( n = 4), which is approximately 50% of the currently accepted value of 19 days, determined using radiolabeled methods. This difference may be due to kinetic isotope effects arising as a result of the tritiated compounds being labeled at sites that undergo Cyt‐P 450 ‐catalyzed oxidations.
