  • Title: Effect of metabolic acidosis on renal response to parathyroid hormone in phosphorus-deprived rats.
    Author: Beck N.
    Journal: Am J Physiol; 1981 Jul; 241(1):F23-7. PubMed ID: 6787936.
    Abstract:
    Both metabolic acidosis and phosphorus (Pi) deprivation have been shown to alter not only renal Pi metabolism independent of parathyroid hormone (PTH), but also the phosphaturic response to PTH. In the present studies, we examined the interaction between metabolic acidosis and Pi deprivation on renal handling of Pi in an animal model in which metabolic acidosis was superimposed on 3 days of dietary Pi deprivation. The effect of metabolic acidosis was evaluated after acute (for 3 h) and chronic (for 3 days) administration of HCl. In Pi-deprived and thyroparathyroidectomized rats, chronic acidosis increased both plasma Pi and the basal fractional excretion of Pi (FEPi). Furthermore, chronic acidosis partially restored the phosphaturic response to PTH, which was totally absent in nonacidotic Pi-deprived rats. These effects metabolic acidosis were not demonstrable in acutely acidotic animals. Determination of PTH-dependent cAMP generation and cAMP-dependent protein kinase activation revealed that neither of these parameters was altered by chronic metabolic acidosis in vivo. These results show that in Pi-deprived rats chronic metabolic acidosis induced by HCl administration further modifies the renal handling of Pi associated with Pi deprivation. Further, the renal interaction between acidosis and Pi deprivation is at a step (or steps) after cAMP generation and protein kinase activation.
