> Larry,
> This article you linked to and others I've been reading mention the tyrosine hydrolxylase gene re adrenals in Vit D therapy. Do you know whether this tyrosine gene relates to the amino acid L-tyrosine, which is the precursor to thyroxine hormone? I'm hypothyroid, as so many of us are, and if Vit D is relevant then one more bingo.

Sorry, the bingo announcer called out the wrong number.

The hydroxylation of tyrosine turns it into L-DOPA, the intermediate for dopamine synthesis.

Tyrosine that is to become thyroid hormone is first incomporated into a massive protein glob called thyroglobulin. It's kind of like a porcupine, studded with tyrosines. The tyrosine molecules are iodinated, then combined to form T4 and T3. They are totally distinct processes.

> BTW, I've been dosing with 8,000mg of Vit D emulsion drops (Biotics Research) for about 2 weeks now. Maybe it's my imagination, maybe it's getting alot of other things balanced, but I do feel more energy, less bone pain and I guess one would say 'sunnier' of disposition. - Barbara

I am so glad to hear that.

One wonders if the adjective sunny, with respect to disposition, bears with it a history of observation.....those who take the sun have it, more than others?
