Anthony W. Norman is a distinguished professor emeritus of biochemistry and biomedical sciences at the University of California, Riverside and one of the world's foremost experts on vitamin D. == Vitamin D Research == Formally stated, Norman's research is the "mechanism of action of the steroid hormone 1,25(OH)2-vitamin D3; vitamin D structure-function relationships, actions of the vitamin D receptor (VDR)."〔("Anthony Norman CV" )〕 In 1967, Norman's lab discovered that vitamin D is converted into a steroid hormone by the body. In 1969 he determined that vitamin D receptors (VDR) were present in the intestine.〔University of California (13 Nov. 2008). "Vitamin D Expert at UC Riverside Leads UC Scientists' Call Recommending Increase in Daily Vitamin D Intake". (Press release )〕 In 1971 the Norman laboratory reported the chemical structure of the steroid hormone to be 1∂,25(OH)2Vitamin D3.〔"1,25-Dihydroxycholecalciferol: Identification of the proposed active form of vitamin D3 in the intestine." Science 173:51-54 (1971) ()〕 In 1972, Norman in collaboration with Dr. Jack Coburn at the UCLA medical school treated the first uremic patients with the steroid hormone, produced in the Norman laboratory.〔"Action of 1,25-dihydroxy¬cholecalciferol, a potent, kidney-produced metabolite of vitamin D3, in uremic man." New England Journal of Medicine 287:891-895 (1972)()〕 In 2008, Norman and Dr. Cedric Garland of UC San Diego made the recommendation that the daily intake of vitamin D for adults be revised to 2000 international units.〔Vitamin D Society (24 Nov. 2008).
