Effect of 25(OH)vitamin D3 on urinary excretion of cyclic adenosine monophosphate. 1975

M M Popovtzer, and J B Robinette

To further evaluate the effect of 25(OH)vitamin D3 (25(OH)vit D3) on renal handling of phosphorus, fractional excretion of phosphorus (CP/CIn) and urinary excretion of cyclic AMP (UcAMP) were measured in the following groups of animals: 1) intact rats receiving intravenously 25(OH)vit D3. 2a) Parathyroidectomized (PTX) rats receiving a continuous infusion of parathyroid hormone (PTH). 2b) PTX rats undergoing continuous infusion of PTH and receiving intravenously 25(OH)vit D3. In group 1 a decrease in CP/CIn from a control value of 0.210 +/- 0.064 (kappa +/- SE) to 0.052 +/- 0.017 (P less than 0.001) during 25(OH)vit D3 infusion was associated with a corresponding decrease in UcAMP from 182 +/- 18 to 87 +/- 8 pmol/min (P less than 0.001). In group 2a an increase in CP/CIn from a control value of 0.031 +/- 0.014 to 0.365 +/- 0.017 during PTH infusion was associated with a corresponding increase in UcAMP from 76 +/- 17 to 330 +/- 51 pmol/min (P less than 0.001). In group 2b a decrease in CP/CIn from 0.365 +/- 0.017 to 0.256 +/- 0.011 (P less than 0.01) during 25(OH)vit D3 infusion was associated with a decrease in UcAMP from 356 +/- 63 to 191 +/- 33 pmol/min (P less than 0.01). These results indicate that the blunting of the phosphaturic response to PTH by 25(OH)vit D3 is associated with a decrease in UcAMP. This observation suggests that the mechanism underlying the enhanced tubular reabsorption of phosphorus is inhibition of the PTH-induced activation of adenylate cyclase in the kidney.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007684	Kidney Tubules	Long convoluted tubules in the nephrons. They collect filtrate from blood passing through the KIDNEY GLOMERULUS and process this filtrate into URINE. Each renal tubule consists of a BOWMAN CAPSULE; PROXIMAL KIDNEY TUBULE; LOOP OF HENLE; DISTAL KIDNEY TUBULE; and KIDNEY COLLECTING DUCT leading to the central cavity of the kidney (KIDNEY PELVIS) that connects to the URETER.

D010281	Parathyroid Hormone	A polypeptide hormone (84 amino acid residues) secreted by the PARATHYROID GLANDS which performs the essential role of maintaining intracellular CALCIUM levels in the body. Parathyroid hormone increases intracellular calcium by promoting the release of CALCIUM from BONE, increases the intestinal absorption of calcium, increases the renal tubular reabsorption of calcium, and increases the renal excretion of phosphates.
