To investigate the effects of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3) on pancreatic B and D cell function in normal rats, 1 microgram of 1,25(OH)2D3 was administered intravenously 20 hours before the experiment. The plasma 1,25(OH)2D3 and calcium concentrations were significantly elevated, and plasma insulin levels also increased in 1,25(OH)2D3-administered rats compared with controls. Glucose-induced insulin and somatostatin release from the isolated pancreas perfused with lower calcium, however, was the same between the 1,25(OH)2D3-administered group and the controls. On the other hand, when the isolated pancreas was perfused with higher calcium, the glucose-induced insulin release was significantly increased in the 1,25(OH)2D3-administered group, while no significant difference in somatostatin release was observed in any group. These results suggest that the sensitivity of pancreatic B cells to glucose perfused with more calcium may increase when 1,25(OH)2D3 has been previously administered. In addition, 1,25(OH)2D3 does not seem to affect the somatostatin release from the pancreatic D cells.
