The effects of thyroparathyroidectomy, parathyroid hormone, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, dietary calcium, dietary phosphorus, age, and sex on the renal 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 1- and 24-hydroxylases measured in vitro in rats have been studied. Thyroparathyroidectomy of vitamin D-deficient rats abolishes 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 1-hydroxylase activity, and administration of bovine parathyroid extract to the thyroparathyroidectomized rat restores diminished 1-hydroxylase activity. Both suppression and restoration of the enzyme activities require many hours (18-24 h) independent of rapid changes in serum calcium and inorganic phosphorus levels in response to these manipulations. Administration of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 to vitamin D-deficient rats suppresses 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 1-hydroxylase activity and stimulates 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 24-hydroxylase activity within 48 h. Rats maintained on a low-calcium or a low-phosphorus diet with a daily supplement of 20 IU vitamin D3 show high 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 1-hydroxylase activity and low 24-hydroxylase activity as compared with rats similarly treated but fed a diet containing adequate calcium or adequate phosphorus. When vitamin D-sufficient rats having suppressed renal 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 1-hydroxylase activity are placed on a low-calcium vitamin D-deficient diet for 7 days, the 1-hydroxylase activity is greatly stimulated in 6-wk-old rats but much less so in rats with advancing age.

The biological activity of 24,24-difluoro-1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 was compared with 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 in the rat. The 24,24-difluoro-1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 has a potency of approximately 5-10 times that of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 in the known in vivo vitamin D responsive systems. These systems include intestinal calcium transport, bone calcium mobilization, calcification of epiphyseal plate cartilage, and elevation of plasma calcium and phosphorus concentrations. Thus, 24,24-difluoro-1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 is the first known analogue with higher potency than 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 in vivo.
