The effect of administration of bovine prolactin in vivo on renal 1 alpha-hydroxylase (1 alpha-OHase) activity was investigated using thyroparathyroidectomized and sham-operated vitamin-D-deficient male rats. A high dose (1.5 IU/hr) and a low dose (0.3 IU/hr) of bovine prolactin was constantly infused into the cannulated femoral vein for 6 hr or 30 hr. The accumulation of 1 alpha, 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 [1 alpha, 25-(OH)2-D3] in plasma produced from 25-hydroxy-vitamin D3 (25-OH-D3) was calculated from the 6-hr conversion of intravenously injected [3H]-25-OH-D3 to [3H]-1 alpha, 25-(OH)2-D3. Both high dose and low dose of prolactin administration caused no significant stimulatory effect on 1 alpha-OHase activity in TPTX animals. Also, in sham-operated rats the prolactin treatment produced no significant change in the 1 alpha-OHase activity. Plasma calcium concentrations showed a tendency to increase slightly. These results suggest that prolactin has no direct stimulatory role on renal 1 alpha-OHase activity in rats. Its effect on calcium metabolism may be mediated by a different mechanism(s).
