To study the effects of chronic metabolic acidosis on the metabolism of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2D3] rats were given either a low calcium diet (LCD) (0.002% calcium) or chow (1.2% calcium); ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) was added (1 or 1.5%) to the drinking water of some rats eating LCD or chow while others served as nonacidotic controls. LCD increased circulating 1,25(OH)2D3 levels from 46 +/- 14 to 204 +/- 24 pg/ml (P less than 0.001) in the absence of NH4Cl; 1.5% NH4Cl prevented the increase in 1,25(OH)2D3 (25 +/- 6 vs. 27 +/- 8 pg/ml (P, NS) but 1% NH4Cl did not (50 +/- 12 vs. 161 +/- 23 pg/ml; P less than 0.001). Acidosis suppressed neither serum immunoreactive parathyroid hormone (PTH) nor urine cAMP response to LCD. Although total serum calcium and phosphorus showed no regular changes with NH4Cl, acidosis raised blood ionized calcium in rats fed either chow or LCD, and serum 1,25(OH)2D3 levels were inversely correlated with ionized calcium (r = 0.714; P less than 0.001) during LCD. Chronic NH4Cl acidosis prevented serum 1,25(OH)2D3 from rising during LCD, independent of changes in PTH secretion, cAMP generation, or serum phosphorus. The absence of a 1,25(OH)2D3 response may be due to increased ionized calcium produced by acidosis.

24,25 Dihydroxyvitamin D3

The effect of 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [24,25(OH)2D3] on 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2D3] metabolism was examined in rats fed on a low-calcium diet. These rats exhibit hypocalcaemia, high urinary cyclic AMP excretion, a markedly elevated serum 1,25(OH)2D concentration and low serum concentrations of both 24,25(OH)2D and 25(OH)D. When the rats are treated orally with 1, 5 or 10 micrograms of 24,25(OH)2D3/100 g every day, there is a dramatic decrease in serum 1,25(OH)2D concentration in a dose-dependent manner concomitant with an increase in serum 24,25(OH)2D concentration. Serum calcium concentration and urinary cyclic AMP excretion are not significantly affected by the 24,25(OH)2D3 treatment, which suggests that parathyroid function is not affected by the 24,25(OH)2D3 treatment. The 25(OH)D3 1 alpha-hydroxylase activity measured in kidney homogenates is markedly elevated in rats on a low-calcium diet but is not affected by any doses of 24,25(OH)2D3. In contrast, recovery of intravenously injected [3H]1,25(OH)2D3 in the serum is decreased in 24,25(OH)2D3-treated rats. Furthermore, when [3H]1,25(OH)2D3 is incubated in vitro with kidney or intestinal homogenates of 24,25(OH)2D3-treated rats there is a decrease in the recovery of radioactivity in the total lipid extract as well as in the 1,25(OH)2D3 fraction along with an increase in the recovery of radioactivity in the water-soluble phase. These results are consistent with the possibility that 24,25(OH)2D3 has an effect on 1,25(OH)2D3 metabolism, namely that of enhancing the degradation of 1,25(OH)2D3. However, because a considerable proportion of the injected 24,25(OH)2D3 is expected to be converted into 1,24,25(OH)3D3 by renal 1 alpha-hydroxylase in 24,25(OH)2D3-treated rats, at least a part of the decrease in serum 1,25(OH)2D concentration may be due to a competitive inhibition by 24,25(OH)2D3 of the synthesis of 1,25(OH)2D3 from 25(OH)D3. Thus the physiological importance of the role of 24,25(OH)2D3 in regulating the serum 1,25(OH)2D concentration as well as the mechanism and metabolic pathway of degradation of 1,25(OH)2D3 remain to be clarified.

25 Hydroxyvitamin D

Serum 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 concentration and renal 25-hydroxyvitamin D 1 alpha-hydroxylase activity were measured in rats fed various levels of calcium, phosphorus and vitamin D3. Both calcium deprivation and phosphorus deprivation greatly increased circulating levels of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3. The circulating level of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 in rats on a low-calcium diet increased with increasing doses of vitamin D3, whereas it did not change in rats on a low-phosphorus diet given increasing doses of vitamin D3. In concert with these results, the 25-hydroxyvitamin D 1 alpha-hydroxylase activity was markedly increased by vitamin D3 administration to rats on a low-calcium diet, whereas the same treatment of rats on a low-phosphorus diet had no effect and actually suppressed the 1 alpha-hydroxylase in rats fed an adequate-calcium/adequate-phosphorus diet. The administration of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 to vitamin D-deficient rats on a low-calcium diet also increased the renal 25-hydroxy-vitamin D 1 alpha-hydroxylase activity. These results demonstrate that the regulatory action of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 on the renal 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 1 alpha-hydroxylase is complex and not simply a suppressant of this system.

Duodenal and ileal calcium transport was studied by 45Ca uptake and estimation of unidirectional fluxes in vitro in kidney-intact and 5/6-nephrectomized rats. After normal-calcium diet, calcium transport was impaired by uremia in the duodenum but not in the ileum. However, 5/6-nephrectomized rats on low-calcium diet showed, in concert with impaired growth, a reduced calcium transport both in duodenum and ileum. Comparing data after normal- and low-calcium diets, the ileal adaptation to low-calcium diet was intact in mild renal failure but abolished in severe uremia (urea less than 100 mg/dl). These results suggest that ileal calcium transport after normal-calcium diet is mainly passive. Taking into account reduced food intake as an additional factor, the active ileal calcium transport after low-calcium diet declines with progressive renal failure according to decreasing levels of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3. A suspected enhancement of the distal small intestinal calcium transport by parathyroid hormone in uremic rats as compensation for proximally impaired absorption could not be demonstrated.

AbstractCage layer osteoporosis (CLO) is a common bone metabolism disease in the breeding industry of China. However, effective prevention for CLO has not been developed. Icariin (ICA), the main bioactive component of the Chinese herb Epimedium, has been shown to have good therapeutic effects on bone-related diseases. In this study, the effects of ICA were further evaluated in a low-calcium diet-induced CLO, and a serum metabolomics assay was performed to understand the underlying mechanisms. A total of 144 31-wk-old Lohmann pink-shell laying hens were randomly allocated to 4 groups with 6 replicates of 6 hens per replicate. The 4 dietary treatment groups consisted of a basal diet (3.5% calcium), a low-calcium diet (2.0% calcium), and a low-calcium diet supplemented with 0.5 or 2.0 g/kg ICA. The results showed that ICA exerted good osteoprotective effects on low-calcium diet-induced CLO. ICA significantly increased femur bone mineral density, improved bone microstructure, decreased bone metabolic level, and upregulated mRNA expression of bone formation genes in femoral bone tissue. Serum untargeted metabolomics analysis showed that 8 metabolite levels were significantly changed after ICA treatment, including increased contents of 7-dehydrocholesterol, 7-oxocholesterol, desmosterol, PC (18:1(9Z)/18:1(9Z)), PS (18:0/18:1(9Z)), N,N-dimethylaniline and 2-hydroxy-butanoic acid and decreased N2,N2-dimethylguanosine. Metabolic pathway analysis based on the above 8 metabolites indicated that ICA mainly perturbed steroid biosynthesis and glycerophospholipid metabolism. These findings suggest that ICA can effectively prevent bone loss in low-calcium diet-induced CLO by mediating steroid biosynthesis and glycerophospholipid metabolism and provide new information for the regulation of bone metabolic diseases.

Abstract Background Preeclampsia is a well-known cause of maternal mortality and morbidity in Ethiopia. The exact pathophysiology has not been fully understood. Calcium and magnesium deficiencies have been given emphasis to play roles in the pathophysiology. Although evidence is abundant, they are equivocal. The study aimed to see the association of dietary calcium intake, serum total calcium level and ionized calcium level with preeclampsia. It also evaluated the association between dietary calcium intake and serum calcium levels. Materials and methods An unmatched case–control study was conducted in Gandhi Memorial, Tikur Anbessa, and Zewditu Memorial Hospitals, all in Addis Ababa, between October to December, 2019. Cases were 42 women with preeclampsia and controls were 42 normotensive women. The medical and obstetric history was gathered using a structured questionnaire and the dietary calcium intake information using a 24-h dietary recall. The serum levels of total serum calcium and ionized (free) calcium were measured using an inductively coupled mass spectrophotometer. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression and Pearson correlation test were utilized during data analysis. Results In comparison with controls, women with preeclampsia had lower mean (± 1SD) levels of ionized calcium level (1.1 mmol/l ± 0.11), total serum calcium level (1.99 mmol/l ± 0.35) and lower median (IQR) dietary calcium intake (704 mg/24 h,458–1183). The odds of having preeclampsia was almost eight times greater in those participants with low serum ionized calcium level (OR 7.5, 95% CI 2.388–23.608) and three times higher in those with low total serum calcium level (OR 3.0, 95% CI 1.024–9.370). Low dietary calcium intake also showed statistically significant association with preeclampsia (OR 3.4, 95% CI 1.092 -10.723). Serum ionized calcium level and total serum calcium level showed positive correlation of moderate strength (p = 0.004, r = 0.307), but no correlation was found between dietary calcium intake with both forms of serum calcium levels. Conclusion This study showed significant association between low dietary calcium intake and low serum calcium levels with preeclampsia, hence this can be used as a supportive local evidence for the current context-specific recommendation of calcium supplementation in societies with low-dietary calcium consumption in an attempt to prevent preeclampsia, therefore implementation study should be considered in Ethiopia to look for the feasibility of routine supplementation.
