    Abstract:
    Effects of 1,25(OH)2D3 or 24,25(OH)2D3 on plasma PTH were examined following induced hypocalcemia with EGTA. EGTA infusions caused an elevation of plasma PTH within 10 min. Sixty min after the start of EGTA infusions, 1,25(OH)2D3 or 24,25(OH)2D3 were IV administered. Transient (within 5 min) elevations in plasma PTH were observed in two of five animals following the administration of 1,25(OH)2D3 or of 24,25(OH)2D3. Neither secosterol had an effect on the induced elevations in plasma PTH during the remaining 60 min of the EGTA infusions. Twenty-two hr following 24,25(OH)2D3 administration, plasma PTH, ionized and total calcium, inorganic phosphate, and magnesium were normal, while plasma 24,25(OH)2D was elevated. The plasma PTH response to EGTA-induced hypocalcemia was not significantly altered from that observed prior to the administration of 24,25(OH)2D3. Animals, which were IV injected with 1,25(OH)2D3 received the same amount IM 60 min later. Twenty-two h following IM 1,25(OH)2D3, plasma 1,25(OH)2D, ionized and total calcium, and plasma inorganic phosphate were elevated. Plasma PTH and magnesium were lowered. The PTH response to EGTA-induced hypocalcemia was significantly reduced in these animals. A similar reduction in the PTH response to induced hypocalcemia was observed in animals receiving 7 hr IV infusions of calcium chloride. The findings suggest that the blunted response was, in part, the consequence of the preceding hypercalcemia. These results indicate that 1,25(OH)2D3 does not directly regulate plasma PTH secretion and that 24,25(OH)2D3 has no effect on plasma PTH during induced hypocalcemia in the bovine species.
