In an attempt to study the influence of vitamin D metabolites on PTH secretion, serum calcium and urinary excretion of cAMP were sequentially measured in conscious perfused rats, and the effects of a single iv injection of the metabolites on these parameters were examined. Four hours after the administration of 0.25 microgram/kg (0.6 nmol/kg, probably a physiological dose) of 1 alpha, 25-dihydroxycholecalciferol [1 alpha, 25 (OH)2D3], the urinary excretion of cAMP decreased to a level compatible with that of parathyroidectomized rats (approximately 60% of the initial value; P less than 0.05) and this level was sustained for nearly 24 h. Serum concentrations of calcium (total and ionized) did not change. In parathyroidectomized rats which were continuously infused with bovine PTH (1 U/h), the vitamin D metabolite had no significant effect on the urinary excretion of cAMP. 24 R, 25-dihydroxcholecalciferol (12.5 microgram/kg) had no significant effect either on the urinary excretion of cAMP or on serum calcium. These results suggest that in rats, a physiological dose of 1 alpha, 25(OH)2D3 inhibits PTH secretion without causing a significant rise iu serum calcium, reflecting a feed-back mechanism between active vitamin D metabolite, 1 alpha, 25(OH)2D3 and the parathyroid glands.
