Effects of vitamin D metabolites on healing of low phosphate, vitamin D-deficient induced rickets in rats. 1985

A model of low-phosphate, vitamin D-deficient rachitic rats was used to compare the effects of 1 alpha(OH)D3, 1,25(OH)2D3, and 24,25(OH)2D3 on cartilage and bone. The rats were maintained for 3 weeks on a high-calcium, low-phosphate, vitamin D-deficient diet, during which period they developed severe rickets. The rachitic rats were injected for 2 or 3 consecutive days with a physiologic dose of either metabolite. Other littermates were given a single dose of 50,000 IU of cholecalciferol in combination with a normal diet. Samples of cartilage fluid (Cfl) and of blood were removed prior to sacrifice for biochemical studies of some parameters of calcification. These parameters were correlated with the results of light and electron microscopic studies of the growth plate cartilage and bone. Treatment with 1 alpha (OH)D3 or with 1,25(OH)2D3, in spite of increasing Ca and P levels in the Cfl, induced only partial healing of the rickets. In contrast, 24,25(OH)2D3 or vitamin D with a normal diet resulted in complete morphologic and biochemical healing of the rickets. Transmission electron microscopic (TEM) studies have shown partial mineralization of the wide hypertrophic zone of the growth plate following treatment with 1 alpha(OH)D3 or with 1,25(OH)2D3. Mineralization was more complete with 24,25(OH)2D3 treatment. The results of this study emphasize the importance of 24,25(OH)2D3 for normal endochondral bone formation and mineralization.

D002117 Calcitriol The physiologically active form of vitamin D. It is formed primarily in the kidney by enzymatic hydroxylation of 25-hydroxycholecalciferol (CALCIFEDIOL). Its production is stimulated by low blood calcium levels and parathyroid hormone. Calcitriol increases intestinal absorption of calcium and phosphorus, and in concert with parathyroid hormone increases bone resorption. 1 alpha,25-Dihydroxycholecalciferol,1 alpha,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3,1, 25-(OH)2D3,1,25(OH)2D3,1,25-Dihydroxycholecalciferol,1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3,1 alpha, 25-dihydroxy-20-epi-Vitamin D3,1,25(OH)2-20epi-D3,1,25-dihydroxy-20-epi-Vitamin D3,20-epi-1alpha,25-dihydroxycholecaliferol,Bocatriol,Calcijex,Calcitriol KyraMed,Calcitriol-Nefro,Decostriol,MC-1288,MC1288,Osteotriol,Renatriol,Rocaltrol,Silkis,Sitriol,Soltriol,Tirocal,1 alpha,25 Dihydroxyvitamin D3,1,25 Dihydroxycholecalciferol,1,25 Dihydroxyvitamin D3,1,25 dihydroxy 20 epi Vitamin D3,Calcitriol Nefro,D3, 1 alpha,25-Dihydroxyvitamin,D3, 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin,D3, 1,25-dihydroxy-20-epi-Vitamin,KyraMed, Calcitriol,MC 1288
D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.

D012279 Rickets Disorders caused by interruption of BONE MINERALIZATION manifesting as OSTEOMALACIA in adults and characteristic deformities in infancy and childhood due to disturbances in normal BONE FORMATION. The mineralization process may be interrupted by disruption of VITAMIN D; PHOSPHORUS; or CALCIUM homeostasis, resulting from dietary deficiencies, or acquired, or inherited metabolic, or hormonal disturbances.
