These experiments were designed to test the hypothesis that avid phosphate reabsorption by the pars recta accounts for the resistance to the phosphaturic effects of acute dexamethasone (DEX) and parathyroid hormone (PTH) infusions in rats fed a low-phosphate diet. Acute infusion of DEX [0.4 mg/(kg X h)] increased the fractional delivery of phosphate (FDPi) to the late proximal tubule from 7.1 +/- 2.1 to 14.4 +/- 3.5%, whereas FDPi to the early distal tubule and urine were not different. PTH alone [1 U/(kg X min)] increased FDPi to the late proximal tubule from 4.0 +/- 1.1 to 15.7 +/- 3.7%, whereas FDPi to the early distal tubule or urine was not different. The combination of DEX and PTH further increased FDPi to the late proximal tubule (32.7 +/- 6.4%) and resulted in an increase in fractional excretion of phosphate (FEPi), in spite of the fact that the FDPi to the early distal tubule was not significantly increased. The increased delivered load of phosphate to the pars recta following inhibition of phosphate transport in superficial proximal convoluted tubules resulted in a comparable increase in phosphate reabsorption in the pars recta, based on linear regression analysis, in rats fed low-phosphate diet but not in rats fed normal phosphate diet. These results demonstrate that acute infusion of DEX or PTH inhibits fractional phosphate reabsorption in the superficial proximal tubule but does not result in an increase in FEPi due at least in part to avid phosphate reabsorption in the superficial pars recta in rats fed low-phosphate diet.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

This study was performed to evaluate the nephron site(s) responsible for the blunted phosphaturic effect of parathyroid hormone during respiratory alkalosis. In normocapnic thyroparathyroidectomized rats, parathyroid hormone administration markedly increased the fractional excretion of phosphate (FEp) from 2.1 +/- 0.5 to 36.6 +/- 5.0%. However, in the respiratory alkalotic rats, parathyroid hormone administration did not significantly increase the FEp (1.4 +/- 0.9 to 5.9 +/- 2.2%). This blunted phosphaturic response to parathyroid hormone was not due to a blunted inhibition of phosphate reabsorption by the superficial proximal tubule, since parathyroid hormone administration significantly increased the fractional delivery of phosphate (FDp) at the superficial late proximal tubule in both normal (25.3 +/- 3.0 to 36.2 +/- 3.8%, delta 10.9 +/- 3.2%) and respiratory alkalotic rats (12.2 +/- 3.1 to 30.3 +/- 4.9%, delta 18.0 +/- 4.7%). Parathyroid hormone administration significantly increased the FDp at the superficial early distal tubule from 9.3 +/- 3.9 to 38.7 +/- 7.4% (delta 29.4 +/- 5.1%) in normal rats and from 4.5 +/- 1.7 to 12.9 +/- 3.4% (delta 8.5 +/- 3.2%) in the respiratory alkalotic rats. We conclude that the blunted phosphaturic response to parathyroid hormone in respiratory alkalotic rats is not due to a blunted inhibition of phosphate reabsorption by the proximal convoluted tubule but is primarily due to enhanced reabsorption by the pars recta segment of the proximal tubule.

Phosphate deprivation causes a resistance to the phosphaturic effect of parathyroid hormone. The decreased phosphaturic response to parathyroid hormone in rats fed a low phosphate diet for 1 day can be restored by propranolol infusion. Free-flow micropuncture studies were performed to localize the nephron site of restoration of the phosphaturic effect of parathyroid hormone by propranolol in rats deprived of phosphate for one day. In animals fed low phosphate diet and in the presence of parathyroid hormone, propranolol infusion did not change phosphate delivery to the late proximal tubule; however, fractional delivery of phosphate to the early distal tubule was significantly increased from 18.3 +/- 2.9 to 32.2 +/- 4.1%. In rats fed a normal phosphate diet, propranolol infusion did not change phosphate delivery along the nephron. We conclude that the restoration of the phosphaturic effect of parathyroid hormone by propranolol infusion in rats deprived of phosphate for 1 day is primarily due to decreased reabsorption of phosphate by superficial loop segments, most likely the pars recta segment of the proximal tubule.

The administration of nicotinamide results in urinary phosphate excretions similar to those obtained with pharmacologic doses of parathyroid hormone (PTH). Free-flow micropuncture was performed to localize the nephron site(s) of inhibition of phosphate reabsorption by nicotinamide or PTH in thyroparathyroidectomized (TPTX) rats stabilized on a normal or low phosphate diet. In rats fed a normal phosphate diet phosphaturia was observed following either nicotinamide or PTH treatment. Nicotinamide inhibited phosphate reabsorption in the loop of Henle (pars recta) but not in the accessible proximal tubule. PTH inhibited phosphate reabsorption in both the accessible proximal tubule and the pars recta. In phosphate deprivation, the phosphaturic response to either nicotinamide or PTH was blunted. Although phosphate reabsorption was markedly inhibited in the accessible proximal tubule with both nicotinamide and PTH, subsequent reabsorption in the loop of Henle and distal tubule blunted the phosphaturia. We conclude that nicotinamide primarily inhibits phosphate reabsorption by the pars recta in rats fed a normal phosphate diet, whereas it inhibits phosphate reabsorption by the proximal convoluted tubule in rats fed a low phosphate diet. Furthermore, avid reabsorption of phosphate in the pars recta accounts for the resistance to the phosphaturic effect of nicotinamide or PTH seen in rats fed a low phosphate diet.

We tested the hypothesis that greater phosphate delivery from deep nephrons than from superficial nephrons contributes to the addition of phosphate to the collecting system during phosphate loading. In the first group of eight anesthetized Munich-Wistar rats infused with phosphate and parathyroid hormone (PTH), fractional delivery of phosphate (FDP%) from superficial distal tubules was 56 +/- 6%, significantly less than the amount appearing in the urine, 67 +/- 6% (P less than 0.01). In the second group of six rats, we determined whether this addition of phosphate could be accounted for by a higher FDP% from the deep nephrons. Free-flow micropuncture collections were taken from deep nephrons (ascending limb of the loop of Henle in the papilla), superficial nephrons (distal tubules in the cortex), and urine (duct of Bellini). The FDP% to the ascending limb of the loop of Henle in deep nephrons was 78 +/- 10%, significantly greater than to the distal convoluted tubules in superficial nephrons, 51 +/- 6% (P less than 0.005), and the fractional excretion of phosphate in urine, 72 +/- 10% (P less than 0.05). Although a difference between FDP% in superficial and deep nephrons due to reabsorption in the ascending limb of the loop of Henle cannot be ruled out from the present data, other studies indicate that this interpretation is unlikely. We conclude that greater phosphate delivery by deep nephrons contributes to the addition of phosphate to the collecting system of phosphate-loaded rats.

BACKGROUND: The acute effect of parathyroid hormone (PTH) on phosphate transport has been reported to be mediated by rapid downregulation of sodium-phosphate transporter (NaPi-IIa) protein, but the association was observed with pharmacological doses of PTH. OBJECTIVE: To explore the effects of physiological doses of PTH on NaPi-IIa protein and its relationship to phosphate transport. METHODS: Acute clearance studies were performed in parathyroidectomized rats given a bolus i.v. physiological dose (1 mug) of bovine PTH(1-34) and NaPi-IIa protein concentrations were examined at different time intervals. RESULTS: Fractional excretion of phosphate increased from 0.031+/-0.006 (mean+/-s.e.) to 0.238+/-0.059 (P<0.01 compared with baseline and compared with controls) at 40 min and returned to control values by 120 min. Urinary cAMP concentrations were increased at 20 min only. Superficial cortex brush-border membrane (BBM) NaPi-IIa protein was decreased from baseline at both 40 and 120 min (P<0.01) and did not recover at 240 min (P<0.01 compared with baseline and compared with controls). CONCLUSION: These results confirm that PTH, even in physiological dosage, causes a rapid decrease in BBM NaPi-IIa, but subsequent recovery of phosphate reabsorption is poorly correlated with BBM concentrations of NaPi-IIa protein. This suggests that transport mechanisms other than NaPi-IIa are important in renal phosphate reabsorption.

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)

Nephron Heterogeneity

We evaluated the response of superficial and deep nephron proximal tubules to PTH in thyroparathyroidectomized (TPTX) rats fed a normal phosphate diet (0.7%). As phosphate reabsorption is not detectable in the ascending limb of the loop of Henle, fractional phosphate delivery (FDPi%) to the superficial early distal tubule and papillary loop of Henle reflects delivery from superficial and deep nephron proximal tubules, respectively. Re-collection micropuncture experiments were performed in nine acutely TPTX rats before and after the infusion of PTH (33 U/kg bolus; 1 U X kg-1 X min-1). In response to PTH, fractional phosphate excretion increased from 3.3 to 26.2% (P less than 0.05). FDPi% was less from the deep than from the superficial proximal tubule (5.7 vs. 15.7%, P less than 0.05) prior to PTH, indicating enhanced phosphate reabsorption by deep compared with superficial proximal tubules. During PTH infusion, FDPi% was increased in both nephron groups compared with control (P less than 0.05), but there were no differences in phosphate delivery between deep (28.0%) and superficial (29.7%) proximal tubules. We conclude that in acutely volume-expanded TPTX rats, infusion of a pharmacologic dose of PTH decreases phosphate reabsorption in both superficial and deep nephrons. Furthermore, the heterogeneity of FDPi% from deep compared with superficial proximal tubules seen in TPTX rats is absent during PTH infusion.

Superficial nephrons were perfused in vivo to determine the effect of intraluminal sulfate (1–20 mM) on electrolyte reabsorption in the rat with special reference to calcium and magnesium transport. This technique allowed us the opportunity of investigating separate electrolyte transfers without alteration of extrarenal influences. The major amount of perfused sulfate was absorbed in the proximal tubule with little absorption distal to the late proximal collection site. Phosphate transport was not affected by high luminal sulfate concentrations indicating distinct reabsorptive mechanisms for these two anions. Intraluminal sulfate significantly inhibited calcium and magnesium reabsorption in the proximal tubule, loop of Henle, and superficial distal tubule, in distinction to modest effects on sodium transport in these nephron segments. Chloride transport was not altered. The inhibition of divalent cation transfer was not quantitively similar in the different tubule segments. Small amounts of sulfate completely inhibited proximal calcium and magnesium reabsorption with little effect on transport within the loop of Henle. Enhanced distal delivery of sulfate significantly inhibited calcium and magnesium reabsorption in the distal tubule, a site where the sulfate anion is not reabsorbed. These results demonstrate the importance of distal delivery of anionic ligands capable of forming nonreabsorbable complexes. Thus distal calcium and magnesium transport may be greatly modified by proximal control of anion reabsorption.

1. Clearance and micropuncture studies were performed in 19 thyroparathyroidectomized dogs to examine the inter-relationship between the renal transport of sodium, glucose and phosphate. 2. All experiments were carried out before and after the intravenous administration of phlorhizin [7 mg (15 μmol)/kg] with a sustaining infusion of the same dose/h. Thirteen dogs were studied during hydropenia (group I) and six dogs in the volume-expanded state (group II). 3. In the proximal tubule, phlorhizin significantly reduced sodium reabsorption in hydropenic dogs, but had no effect in volume-expanded dogs. Proximal tubular glucose reabsorption was completely inhibited by phlorhizin in both groups, but no significant change in phosphate reabsorption was observed. 4. Fractional glucose excretion in the urine reached 83–89% after phlorhizin, values significantly less than 100%, suggesting a residual reabsorption of glucose in a more distal segment or in deep nephrons. The changes in fractional excretion of sodium and phosphate were significantly correlated. 5. The effect of phlorhizin on both sodium and glucose reabsorption in the proximal tubule in hydropenic dogs suggests the existence of a co-transport mechanism, whereas the absence of an effect on sodium transport in volume-expanded dogs despite complete inhibition of glucose reabsorption indicates the existence of a sodium-independent component of net proximal tubular glucose transport. 6. Absence of the effect of phlorhizin on proximal tubular phosphate transport in the face of a significant reduction in sodium reabsorption implies that the reciprocal relationship between glucose and phosphate transport could be masked by the changes in sodium transport. Thus the sodium-phosphate transport relationship may prevail over that of glucose-phosphate in the proximal tubule.

The present study was performed to evaluate the nephron site of inhibition by calcitonin of phosphate reabsorption in the thyroparathyroidectomized rat. Pharmacologic doses of salmon calcitonin markedly inhibited fluid and phosphate reabsorption by the superficial proximal tubule. However, continued phosphate reabsorption between the superficial late proximal and early distal tubule, as well as along the distal tubule, blunted the phosphaturic effect of calcitonin. We conclude that the phosphaturic effect of a pharmacologic dose of salmon calcitonin is primarily due to an inhibition of fluid and phosphate reabsorption by the proximal convoluted tubule.
