Idiopathic hypoparathyroidism is a rare entity which is clinically characterized by episodes of hypocalcemia and hyperphosphatemia with deficient endogenous parathyroid hormone secretion.1,2 Exogenous parathyroid hormone administration elicits the appropriate renal phosphaturic response,3,4 and no associated endocrinopathies have been reported.1,2 Treatment with 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25-(OH)2D3) is currently recommended.1,2,5 Responses to exogenous parathyroid hormone infusion consist not only of an increase in urine phosphate excretion but, more definitively, an increase in nephrogenous cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) production.6 Studies of these parameters in pediatric patients have been reported,3 but little is known about the influence of parathyroid hormone administration on the urine calcium excretion of hypoparathyroidism in children and how the renal response to parathyroid hormone may be modified by the 1,25-(OH)2D3 therapy.

The phosphaturic effect of parathyroid hormone (PTH), cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP), acetazolamide (Az), and HCO3 loading was studied in normal, thyroparathyroidectomized (TPTX), and Li-treated dogs. PTH administration to normal animals markedly increased fractional excretion (F) of PO4 but had a blunted effect on FPO4 in the Li-treated animals. Cyclic AMP likewise markedly increased FPO4 in the normal animals but had a markedly blunted effect in the Li-treated animals. Az led to a significant increase in FNa, FHCO3, and FPO4 in the normal animals. In the Li-treated dogs, Az induced a significant natriuresis and bicarbonaturia but failed to increase phosphaturia. HCO3 loading in normal dogs caused a significant phosphaturia while having little effect on FPO4 in Li-treated dogs. HCO3 loading to TPTX dogs was associated with a lower FPO4 as compared to normal HCO3-loaded animals. These data suggest that Li administration not only blocks the adenyl cyclase-cAMP system in the renal cortex, but it may also interfere with a step distal to the formation of cAMP, since the phosphaturic effect of both PTH and cAMP was markedly diminished in Li-treated animals.

ABSTRACT A pronounced circadian rhythm has been demonstrated for intact parathyroid hormone (1-84) in the serum of normal male adults. The broad nocturnal rise of parathyroid hormone (1-84) secretion appears to be of physiological significance, for it is accompanied by a significant rise in nephrogenous cyclic adenosine monophosphate. The rate of return of parathyroid hormone (1-84) to baseline concentrations varies between individuals, an observation which has implications for the optimal time of sampling for the investigation of possible mild hyperparathyroidism.

ABSTRACT The effects of the infusion in four different dosages (0.001, 0.005, 0.02 and 0.2 mg/kg/min during 60 min) of cyclic 3′,5′-adenosine monophosphate and of its dibutyryl derivative on plasma growth hormone and on glucose, immunoreactive insulin and cortisol were studied in 38 normal subjects and in 10 patients with idiopathic hypopituitarism. In normal subjects cyclic 3′,5′-adenosine monophosphate provokes an increase in plasma growth hormone levels (only when a dosage of 0.2 mg/kg/min is used) without any changes in plasma glucose, insulin and cortisol. The maximal value of the means is observed 75 min after starting the infusion. Dibutyryl cyclic 3′,5′-adenosine monophosphate (0.2 and 0.02 mg/kg/min) provokes a dose-related rise in plasma growth hormone levels which is always preceded by hyperglycaemia and hyperinsulinaemia. The peak of the mean growth hormone levels occurs at 135 min after initiation of the infusion. In all but one hypopituitary patients the nucleotides do not promote growth hormone secretion. It is concluded that exogenous cyclic 3′,5′-adenosine monophosphate and its dibutyryl derivative may not be considered as analogous and that both compounds may contribute to study growth hormone release in normal subjects and in patients with growth abnormalities.
