Effect of age and dietary calcium on renal 25(OH)D metabolism, serum 1,25(OH)2D, and PTH. 1984

H J Armbrecht, and L R Forte, and B P Halloran

The purpose of this study was to determine how serum 1,25(OH)2D, renal production of [3H]1,25(OH)2D and [3H]24,25(OH)2D from [3H]25(OH)D, and serum IPTH change with age and dietary Ca restriction. Male Fischer 344 rats aged 3, 13, and 25 mo were placed on either a high-Ca (1.2%) or low-Ca (0.02%) vitamin D-replete diet. After 4 wk, serum was collected, and renal conversion of [3H]25(OH)D3 to [3H]1,25(OH)2D3 and [3H]24,25(OH)2D3 was measured in vitro using isolated renal cortical slices. Serum 1,25(OH)2D and renal [3H]1,25(OH)2D3 production were markedly reduced in 13- and 25-mo-old rats compared with 3-mo-old rats fed the low-Ca diet. In 3-mo-old rats, feeding the low-Ca diet increased serum 1,25(OH)2D by 18-fold and renal [3H]1,25(OH)2D3 production by threefold compared with feeding the high-Ca diet. In 25-mo-old rats, dietary Ca had no effect on these parameters. Renal [3H]24,25(OH)2D3 production was increased in the 13- and 25-mo-old rats compared with the 3-mo-old rats. Serum IPTH increased with age regardless of diet and was significantly increased by the low-Ca diet in 3-mo but not in 13- or 25-mo-old rats. The changes in serum 1,25(OH)2D and renal [3H]1,25(OH)2D3 production observed in this study may account for the previously observed age-related decline in intestinal Ca absorption in this animal model.

D007668 Kidney Body organ that filters blood for the secretion of URINE and that regulates ion concentrations. Kidneys

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.

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.
