The need for young, immature rats to maintain positive phosphate balance for growth is well recognized. However, whether this process is associated with a resistance to the phosphaturic effect of parathyroid hormone (PTH) is not clear. In these experiments we examined the effect of PTH on urinary phosphate and cAMP excretion in rats at 3, 6, 12, and 20 wk of age. Clearance experiments were performed in acutely thyroparathyroidectomized (TPTX) rats fed a normal phosphate diet (0.86%). Basal fractional excretion of phosphate (FEPi) was low in all TPTX rats (less than 1%). The phosphaturic response to a high dose of PTH (1 U X kg-1 X min-1) increased with development (from 4 to 29%). The responses to increasing doses of PTH demonstrated a decrease in sensitivity to PTH in 6- compared with 20-wk-old rats. Urinary cAMP excretion (either per milliliter glomerular filtrate or per gram kidney weight) following PTH was not different among 6-, 12-, and 20-wk-old rats, thus demonstrating a dissociation between the increase in phosphate excretion and cAMP excretion. These results indicate that the phosphaturic response to PTH is blunted in immature, acutely TPTX rats and that the phosphaturia increases progressively with development.

Hypophosphatemia is common in heatstroke, but little is known about its mechanism. We investigated 10 consecutive patients with heatstroke (mean age 58 +/- 2 yr) whose mean rectal temperature at admission was 42.3 +/- 0.2 degrees C. Eight patients presented with hypophosphatemia [0.48 +/- 0.08 mmol/l, normal range (NR) 0.8–1.4 mmol/l], associated with increased fractional excretion of phosphate (19.8 +/- 6.4%, NR 6–20%) relative to plasma phosphate levels and reduced renal threshold for phosphate (0.55 +/- 0.08 mmol/l glomerular filtrate, NR 0.8–1.4 mmol/l). Plasma parathyroid hormone (75.0 +/- 5 pmol/l) and calcium (2.24 +/- 0.02 mmol/l) levels and fractional excretion of calcium were normal (1.66 +/- 0.27%). There was no evidence of uricosuria or aminoaciduria, and only one patient had glucosuria. Arterial carbon dioxide was decreased in eight patients (28 +/- 1.1 Torr); however, none had elevated blood pH (7.35 +/- 0.02). The results suggest that heatstroke-related hypophosphatemia is associated with abnormal phosphaturia independent of the parathyroid hormone level, and there is no evidence of tubular dysfunction.

Phosphate deprivation results in a resistance to the phosphaturic effect of parathyroid hormone. Dopamine is phosphaturic and is synthesized by kidney proximal tubule, the nephron subsegment where parathyroid hormone inhibits phosphate transport. Thus, to test the hypothesis that phosphate deprivation is associated with low intrarenal dopamine synthesis and that dopamine infusion will overcome the resistance to the phosphaturic response to parathyroid hormone, the following study was performed. The effect of dietary phosphate intake on intrarenal dopamine synthesis, as reflected by urinary dopamine excretion, was determined. Rats were placed in metabolic cages (N = 5) and were fed a low-phosphate diet (0.07% Pi) for 4 days and then a high-phosphate diet (1.8% Pi) for 4 days. Twenty-four-hour urinary dopamine excretion was significantly lower in rats fed a low-phosphate diet (2.53 +/- 0.06 versus 4.10 +/- 0.30 micrograms/day). Further, the effect of dopamine infusion on the blunted phosphaturic response to parathyroid hormone was studied in rats fed a low-phosphate diet for 1, 2, and 3 days. Control clearances were taken 2 h after thyroparathyroidectomy; then, parathyroid hormone (33 U/kg plus 1 U/kg/min), dopamine (25 micrograms/kg/min), or parathyroid hormone plus dopamine were infused for 60 min. Changes in the fractional excretion of phosphate were significantly greater in rats fed a low-phosphate diet infused with parathyroid hormone plus dopamine than in rats fed a low-phosphate diet infused with parathyroid hormone alone (delta 27.9 +/- 5.8 versus 11.2 +/- 2.6% for day 1; 28.4 +/- 1.4 versus 7.1 +/- 3.6% for day 2; and 10.7 +/- 2.8 versus -0.2 +/- 0.2% for day 3; N = 5 for all groups).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract Background:phosphate homeostasis is mediated through complex counter regulatory feed-back balance between parathyroid hormone, FGF-23 and 1,25(OH)2D. Both parathyroid hormone and FGF-23 regulate proximal tubular phosphate excretion through signaling on sodium- phosphate cotransporters II a and II c . However, the interaction between these hormones on phosphate excretion is not clearly understood. We performed the present study to evaluate whether the existence of sufficient parathyroid hormone is necessary for full phosphaturic function of FGF-23 or not. Methods:In this case-control study, 19 patients with hypoparathyroidism and their age- and gender-matched normal population were enrolled. Serum calcium, phosphate, alkaline phosphatase,parathyroid hormone, FGF-23, 25(OH)D, 1,25(OH)2D and Fractional excretion of phosphorous were assessed and compared between the two groups, using SPSS software. Results:The mean serum calcium and parathyroid hormone level was significantly lower in hypoparathyroid patients in comparison with the control group(P<0.001 and P<0.001, respectively). We found high serum level of phosphate and FGF-23 in hypoparathyroid patients compared to the control group (P<0.001 and P<0.001,respectively). However, there was no significant difference in Fractional excretion of phosphorous or 1,25OH2D level between the two groups. There was a positive correlation between serum FGF-23 and Fractional excretion of phosphorous just in the normal individuals (P <0.001, r = 0.79). Conclusions:Although the FGF-23 is a main regulator of urinary phosphate excretion but the existence of sufficient parathyroid hormone is necessary for the full phosphaturic effect of FGF-23.

Abstract Background and Aims T Obesity is an increasing health problem world-wide. People who are overweight or obese are at greater risk of developing chronic diseases including cardiovascular disease (CVD). Factors associated with dysregulated phosphate metabolism have been linked to the presence of vascular calcification in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) with normal kidney function. Insulin resistance and abdominal obesity are associated with increased circulating levels of phosphaturic hormones including fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF-23) and parathyroid hormone (PTH). Abnormalities in phosphate regulation may not be reflected in single circulating measurements of serum phosphate, but can be revealed by the acute circulating and mineral response to an oral challenge of phosphate. The aim of this study was to determine if obesity and insulin resistance impact the acute capacity to excrete an oral phosphate challenge. Method Community-dwelling people (N=78) free of T2D and symptomatic CVD (∼10 males and ∼10 females from each decade between 40 and 80 years) with normal kidney function were recruited from Kingston, Ontario, Canada. Following a 12-hour fast, participants consumed a 1250 mg phosphate drink (sodium phosphate) where blood and urine were collected at baseline, 1, 2 and 3 hours following the oral challenge. Participants with a high-risk metabolic profile characterized by an elevated waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) (&gt; 0.58) were matched by age and sex to participants with a low risk WHtR (&lt;0.5). Results The results reveal a significant impact of obesity on phosphate excretion in response to an oral phosphate challenge. There was an association between WHtR ratio and the level of iFGF-23 (R=-0.34 p&lt;0.01) but not PTH. After adjustment for age and sex, WHtR ratio was inversely correlated with urinary phosphate excretion in response to the phosphate challenge (R=-0.29, p=0.02) and the change in fractional excretion of phosphate (r=-0.34, p=0.007). From the larger cohort, an age- and sex- matched subset was selected for 12 high risk and 12 low risk metabolic profiles with WHtR of 0.66±0.02 and 0.46±0.01, respectively. Kidney function was the same between the two groups (eGFR 92.3±13.1 versus 95.8±13.6 ml/min/1.73m2 respectively) but high risk participants had significantly higher homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) (1.61±0.81 versus 0.68±0.3, p&lt;0.01). Participants with a high risk metabolic profile had a greater increase in serum phosphate from baseline (29% increase in the area under the curve, p=0.04) and a significantly blunted increase in the fractional excretion of phosphate in response to the oral phosphate challenge (35% reduction in area under the curve [AUC], p=0.03) compared to the matched low risk profile participants. Conclusion Overweight/obese individuals demonstrate impaired response to an oral phosphate challenge, whereby phosphate excretion was impaired and there was increased exposure to new circulating phosphate. An impaired acute phosphate response may contribute to the initiation or propagation of vascular calcification. Dysregulated phosphate homeostasis may be an under-recognized cardiovascular risk factor in obese people that could be modified by diet and weight loss. Whether insulin enhances renal phosphate reabsorption requires further study.

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.

The objective of this study was to examine the effect of NG-monomethyl-L-arginine (L-NMMA) on phosphate excretion in the presence and absence of parathyroid hormone (PTH). Renal clearances were obtained before and during infusion of L-NMMA (15 mg/kg bolus and 500 micrograms.kg-1.min-1 infusion) in Sprague-Dawley rats with intact parathyroid glands (n = 6), in thyroparathyroidectomized (TPTX) rats receiving a constant infusion of PTH-(1-34) (0.01-0.03 U.kg-1.min-1) (n = 11) throughout the experiment, or in TPTX rats, that received an acute infusion of PTH-(1-34) (33 U/kg bolus and 1 U.kg-1.min-1 infusion) after L-NMMA infusion alone (n = 7). In rats with intact parathyroid glands, L-NMMA increased the fractional excretions of phosphate (FEPi) and sodium (FENa) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) (delta 8.6 +/- 1.5%, delta 0.62 +/- 0.1%, and delta 26.7 +/- 4.9 mmHg, respectively; P < 0.05). In TPTX rats receiving a constant infusion of PTH, L-NMMA again increased FEPi, FENa, and MAP (delta 9.5 +/- 3.6%, delta 1.1 +/- 0.4%, and delta 28.4 +/- 4.5 mmHg, respectively; P < 0.05). However, in TPTX rats, L-NMMA alone did not increase FEPi (delta 0.9 +/- 0.3%), whereas the subsequent infusion of PTH with L-NMMA increased FEPi (delta 15.6 +/- 3.1%; P < 0.05). In an additional group of intact and TPTX rats, the fractional excretion of lithium (FELi) was measured as an index of proximal reabsorption. L-NMMA increased FELi in intact rats (delta 13.2 +/- 2.6%; P < 0.05), but not in TPTX rats (delta 4.2 +/- 3.3%). In conclusion, L-NMMA increases phosphate excretion in association with increases in MAP and FENa, and this phosphaturic effect is dependent on the presence of PTH.

The renal effects of parathyroid hormone (PTH) and dibutyryl 3'5'-cyclic AMP (DBcAMP) were studied in thyroparathyroidectomized hamsters. The hamsters were permitted free access to food and water or fasted for 16 h. PTH caused a phosphaturia in the fed hamster (fractional excretion of phosphate (FEPO4) increased from 5.8 +/- 1.3 to 27.4 +/- 4.6%, P less than 0.001) but not in the fasted hamster (from 9.9 +/- 2.5 to 12.4 +/- 2.5%, NS), whereas calcium excretion decreased significantly in both groups. There was no significant difference in blood acid-base or phosphate levels between the two groups. Insulin did not restore the phosphaturic response to PTH (FEPO4 from 7.7 +/- 2.6 to 5.3 +/- 1.7%), whereas phosphate or NH4Cl infusion did, FEPO4 increasing from 20.9 +/- 3.1 to 38.1 +/- 5.4% (P less than 0.02) and from 19.5 +/- 3.8 to 39.0 +/- 7.5%, respectively. DBcAMP caused a phosphaturia both in the fasted (from 9.6 +/- 2.7 to 20.1 +/- 4.5%, P less than 0.01) and fed (from 2.5 +/- 0.5 to 10.7 +/- 1.5%, P less than 0.02) hamster. A fasting state of up to 64 h did not produce resistance to PTH in the rat. It is concluded that fasting produces resistance to the phosphaturic but not the calcium-retaining effects of PTH in the hamster. The resistance may occur, at least partly, prior to the production of cAMP within the renal tubular cell.

Immature rats display a blunted rise in urinary phosphate but not adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) excretion in response to parathyroid hormone (PTH), perhaps as a consequence of the increased demand for phosphate during growth. Because a major driving force for growth is growth hormone (GH), and in view of the fact that GH has been shown to promote renal phosphate retention in the immature animal, it is possible that GH may attenuate the phosphaturic effect of PTH. The objective of this study was to determine whether suppression of pulsatile GH release, during administration of a synthetic peptide antagonist to GH-releasing factor, i.e., [N-acetyl-Tyr1-D-Arg2]-GRF-(1-29)-NH2 (GRF-AN), alters the renal response to increasing doses of PTH (1.5-15.0 micrograms.100 g-1.h-1) in the acutely thyroparathyroidectomized immature rat. Baseline fractional excretion of phosphate (FEPi), before administration of PTH, was negligible in all groups (less than 0.05%). Infusion of PTH resulted in an attenuated rise in FEPi in immature control rats compared with adult control rats (from 3.8 +/- 1.4% at lowest PTH dose to 16.7 +/- 3.1% at highest dose in immature rats vs. 21.1 +/- 3.5 to 31.9 +/- 4.4% in adult rats, P less than 0.05). In contrast, immature rats treated for 2 days with GRF-AN (100 micrograms/kg, twice daily) displayed an enhanced phosphaturic response (FEPi from 12.0 +/- 4.2 to 42.9 +/- 3.7%, P less than 0.05) compared with immature control rats, which was not different from that observed in control adult rats.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

This study evaluated the effect of acute hypoxia on renal handling of phosphate in rats in the presence and absence of parathyroid hormone (PTH). Hypoxia causes respiratory alkalosis in spontaneously breathing humans and animals. Respiratory alkalosis has been reported to induce a blunted phosphaturic response to PTH. In this study, to avoid the confounding effect of hypocapnia accompanying the hypoxia on phosphate excretion, the rats were ventilated mechanically, and arterial PCO2 levels were controlled. Rats were divided into two main groups depending on the arterial PO2 levels: a hypoxic group (n = 16) and a normoxic group (n = 18). Hypoxia was produced by ventilating with 10% oxygen, and hypocapnia was produced by hyperventilation. In response to PTH, the hypoxic rats without hypocapnia showed a greater increase in fractional excretion of phosphate (FEPi; 37.7 +/- 2.6%, mean +/- SE) compared with normoxic rats (27.4 +/- 2.5%, P < 0.02). During hypocapnia, there was no difference in FEPi between hypoxic and normoxic groups (21.2 +/- 1.5 and 19.5 +/- 1.2%, respectively), and both groups showed a significantly blunted phosphaturic response to PTH compared with normocapnia (P < 0.05 and P < 0.01, respectively). Urinary adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) increased similarly after PTH infusion between each group. To test whether the phosphaturic effect of PTH in hypoxia and the blunted phosphaturic effect of PTH in hypocapnia are due to steps beyond the generation of cAMP, the phosphaturic response to cAMP infusion was evaluated in 1) hypoxic and normocapnic rats (n = 6), 2) normoxic and normocapnic (control) rats (n = 6), and 3) normoxic and hypocapnic rats (n = 7).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

As progressive renal failure develops, phosphate excretion per functioning nephron increases, thus preserving homeostasis. To test whether dietary phosphate supply might contribute to the regulation of renal phosphate excretion in the uremic setting, groups of male Sprague-Dawley rats that were either parathyroidectomized (PTX) or sham PTX (S-PTX) and either five-sixths nephrectomized (Nx) or sham Nx (S-Nx) were studied following a 4-wk dietary regimen consisting of 0.1 or 0.7% phosphate. For Nx rats fed the 0.7% phosphate diet the fractional excretion of phosphate (FEPi) was enhanced (47 +/- 6 vs. 21 +/- 3%) and the maximum tubular reabsorption of phosphate per milliliter GFR (TmPi/GFR) was suppressed (1.65 +/- 0.19 vs. 2.33 +/- 0.19 mumol/ml). FEPi was unchanged by PTX in these Nx animals (42 +/- 6 vs. 47 +/- 6%). TmPi/GFR remained suppressed in PTX, NX animals when compared with S-Nx, PTX controls (3.38 +/- 0.33 vs. 5.07 +/- 0.41 mumol/ml). For rats fed the 0.1% phosphate diet Nx did not affect TmPi/GFR in either S-PTX (5.40 +/- 0.43 vs. 4.97 +/- 0.34 mumol/ml) or PTX (7.03 +/- 0.23 vs. 6.98 +/- 0.21 mumol/ml) animals. For both S-Nx and Nx animals the effects of PTX and dietary phosphate restriction on TmPi/GFR were independent and additive. In all groups of animals, tubular reabsorption of phosphate per milliliter GFR (TRPi/GFR) dropped acutely with continued infusion of phosphate once TmPi/GFR was achieved. Thus, a resetting of TRPi/GFR occurs among Nx rats in response to both chronic dietary phosphate deprivation and acute intravenous phosphate loading.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
