The increase of plasma 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25(OH)2D) in response to Ca restriction has been suggested to be essentially mediated by parathyroid hormone (PTH). In this study, we have assessed the influence of variations in calcium intake on plasma 1,25(OH)2D in pair-fed sham-operated (sham) and in hypocalcemic hypoparathyroid rats after thyroparathyroidectomy (TPTX). In sham rats, plasma 1,25(OH)2D increased from 189 +/- 16 to 486 +/- 41 pM when dietary calcium was inreased from 1.2% Ca to 0.2% Ca. This increase was associated with an increase in plasma PTH level. In TPTX rats, plasma 1,25(OH)2D increased from 112 +/- 9 to 332 +/- 36 pM when dietary calcium was decreased. In this case, the increase was not associated with a rise in plasma PTH level nor with an increase in urinary cyclic AMP. When TPTX rats were infused chronically with PTH (60 U/day), plasma 1,25(OH)2D was 62 +/- 9 pM when the 1.2% Ca diet was given and 281 +/- 45 pM with the 0.2% Ca diet. These reults confirm that the thyroparathyroid glands influence plasma 1,25(OH)2D but they also provide evidence for a PTH-independent response of plasma 1,25(OH)2D to Ca restriction.
