ABSTRACT Five patients with chronic post-operative hypoparathyroidism were treated with 450 μg/day 5,6-trans-25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (5,6-trans-25OHD3) for 14 days, and the treatment was continued with 150 μg/day for one year. At the end of this period the patients received 450 μg/day 5,6-cis-25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (5,6-cis-25OHD3) for 14 days. Comparison of the effects of both isomers revealed a similar ability to enhance intestinal calcium absorption and to normalize serum calcium; serum phosphate and alkaline phosphatase, however, remained unaffected. Urinary phosphate and hydroxyproline excretion decreased on the cis-isomer and increased on the trans-isomer. During treatment with the lower dose of 5,6-trans-25OHD3 intestinal calcium absorption remained in the normal range for one year, whereas the serum calcium decreased to the levels observed before administration of 450 μg/day within 6 weeks. The results suggest that in hypoparathyroidism 5,6-cis-25OHD3 and 5,6-trans-25OHD3 are equally effective on serum calcium and on intestinal calcium absorption, but that their mode of action on renal phosphate handling and on calcium release from bone is different.

Calcium binding peptides from Pacific cod (Gadus macrocephalus) bone have attracted attention due to their potential effects on bone health. In this study, calcium binding peptides (CBP) were prepared from Pacific cod bone by trypsin and neutral protease. Ultraviolet spectra, circular dichroism (CD), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) revealed that carboxyl and amino groups in CBP could bind to Ca2+, and form the peptide-calcium complex (CBP-Ca). Single-pass intestinal perfusion (SPIP) experiments indicated that the intestinal calcium absorption was significantly enhanced (p < 0.01) in CBP-Ca treated Wistar rats. The anti-osteoporosis activity of CBP-Ca was investigated in the ovariectomized (OVX) Wistar rat model. The administration of CBP-Ca significantly (p < 0.01) improved the calcium bioavailability, trabecular bone structure, bone biomechanical properties, bone mineral density, and bone mineralization degree. CBP-Ca notably (p < 0.01) increased serum calcium, however, it remarkably (p < 0.01) reduced the levels of osteocalcin (OCN), bone alkaline phosphatase (BALP), tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase isoform 5b (TRAP5b), and C-telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX-1) in serum. Results suggested that the cod bone derived CBP could bind with calcium, improve the intestinal calcium absorption, calcium bioavailability, and serum calcium, then reduce the bone turnover rate, and thus ameliorate osteoporosis.

Background: Deficiency of 25 hydroxyvitamin D has been linked with predisposition to autoimmune disorders. Also, vitamin D has been found to be a causal factor in many autoimmune diseases. Objective of the study was to investigate vitamin D status in children with autoimmune thyroiditis attending endocrinology OPD at a tertiary centre in southern India.Methods: It is a case control study done in which 75 children (70 female, 5 male) with age and sex matched healthy controls were chosen. Free thyroxine, TSH, anti TPOAb, anti TGAb, 25 hydroxyvitamin D, serum calcium, phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase levels were estimated in both cases and control subjects. Children with anti TPO or anti TG positivity were divided into four groups based on their level of antibody titers.Results: The mean age in cases was 9.8±0.34 years. 25(OH)D levels were significantly lower in cases (15.07±1.14 ng/ml) compared to controls (17.82±1.13 ng/ml) (p<0.0006). Mean serum calcium levels in cases (9.35±0.16 mg/dl) were significantly lower when compared to controls (9.73±0.14 mg/dl) (p<0.0005). Similarly mean serum alkaline phosphatase level in cases (184.97±11.10 IU/L) were significantly elevated when compared with controls (122.37±6.82 IU/L) (p<0.0001). However, there was no significant difference in serum phosphorus levels between cases (4.42±0.10 mg/dl) and controls (4.43±0.14 mg/dl) (p=0.83). There was no significant difference in vitamin D level among the groups in both anti TPO (p< 0.283) and anti TG (p<0.148).Conclusions: The significant decrease in vitamin D levels in cases signifies that 25(OH)D may be an independent causal factor related to the autoimmunity in thyroid diseases.

Chlorthalidone, like other benzothiadiazides, lowers urine calcium excretion chronically. If intestinal calcium absorption did not fall or bone accretion did not increase, serum calcium and the filtered load of calcium would increase and urine calcium would return to pretreatment levels. To determine whether overall intestinal calcium absorption fell, we fed chlorthalidone (5 mg X kg body wt-1 X 24 h-1) to 10 adult male rats eating 15 g/day of a 0.6% calcium diet. Compared with 10 control rats, chlorthalidone reduced urine calcium [2.1 +/- 0.1 (SE) vs. 5.8 +/- 0.5 mg/6 days; P less than 0.001]. Fecal calcium rose (307 +/- 9 vs. 257 +/- 12; P less than 0.005) because percent intestinal calcium absorption fell (41 +/- 2 vs. 52 +/- 2; P less than 0.002). Twenty other rats given the same diet were injected subcutaneously with 1,25(OH)2D3 (50 ng/day). In these rats, chlorthalidone reduced urine calcium (23 +/- 3 vs. 59 +/- 3; P less than 0.001) and percent intestinal calcium absorption (60 +/- 1 vs. 66 +/- 1; P less than 0.01). With or without 1,25(OH)2D3, chronic administration of chlorthalidone reduces intestinal calcium absorption, and this reduction seems to be the mechanism that permits urine calcium excretion to remain low.

Objective. Altered calcium homeostasis has been linked to increased intima-media thickness (IMT) and plaques. We aimed to investigate whether serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) and serum calcium are associated with IMT and plaques in nonsmoking population.Methods. Ultrasound of the right carotid artery with the measurements of IMT and plaques was performed in 4194 nonsmoking subjects with available measurements of serum 25(OH)D and total calcium. Linear regression was applied to study the linear relationships between variables. Multinomial logistic regression was used to evaluate predictors of increased IMT and total plaque area (TPA), adjusted for age, body mass index, systolic blood pressure, and total cholesterol.Results. There was no significant linear relationship between mean IMT, TPA, and either serum 25(OH)D or total serum calcium. One SD increase in serum 25(OH)D was independently associated with increased odds of being in the highest quartile of IMT in men (OR 1.30, 95% CI 1.12, 1.51). In women, 1 SD increase in serum 25(OH)D was independently associated with increased risk of being in the upper tertile of TPA (OR 1.15, 95% CI 1.01, 1.33).Conclusions. Impaired calcium homeostasis has no consistent association with mean IMT and TPA; however, increased serum 25(OH)D may predict subclinical atherosclerosis in nonsmokers.
