The location of intestinal cells taken from the base of the crypt to the tip of the villus responsive to calcitriol (1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol) and the distribution of [3H]calcitriol within the intestinal epithelium has been determined in vitamin D-deficient rats. The calcitriol responses examined were CaBP (Ca2+-binding protein) levels as measured by immunodiffusion and alkaline phosphatase levels as determined cytochemically. Calcitriol had no effect on villus structure or on enterocyte kinetics. This made it possible to compare levels of CaBP and alkaline phosphatase activity in enterocytes at different ages in rats at known times after hormone injection. Cells from both the crypt and villus synthesized CaBP in response to calcitriol. Alkaline phosphatase activity was not detectable in crypt cells, although a pool of precursor was produced in these cells in response to calcitriol. Enzyme activity was increased in all villus cells in response to calcitriol, but the quantitative description of this effect was very different from that found for calcitriol effects on CaBP synthesis. Calcitriol injected into vitamin D-deficient rats was detected, within 2h, in all cells of the crypt and villus. Most of the binding was to sites having a high affinity for the injected hormone.

Abstract. The interaction of vitamin D3 and zinc on bone metabolism was investigated in the femur of weanling rats. Oral administration of vitamin D3 (1.0 μg/100 g body weight) did not cause any increase in the zinc accumulation in the femoral tissue following treatment with zinc sulphate (1.0 mg Zn/100 g). Administration of vitamin D3 or zinc produced significant increases the alkaline phosphatase activity and DNA content of the femoral diaphvsis but not of the epiphysis. The increase in alkaline phosphatase activity was enhanced additionally by simultaneous administration of vitamin D3 and zinc. Moreover, the increase in DNA content was enhanced markedly (about 4 times) by these treatments. At a dose of 0.5 μg of vitamin D3 per 100 g, DNA content was at the control level. This level was increased about 2 times by simultaneous administration of zinc (1.0 mg/100 g). The increase in alkaline phosphatase activity following simultaneous administration of vitamin D3 and zinc was significantly inhibited by treatment with cycloheximide, actinomycin D, or mitomycin C. Also, the increase in DNA content was completely inhibited by mitomycin C treatment. The present data suggest that the combination of vitamin D3 and zinc has a multiple effect on the stimulation of bone growth and mineralization in weanling rats, and that this effect is based on a stimulation of the DNA synthesis in bone cells.
