Vieira-Neto A, Lean IJ, Santos JEP. Periparturient Mineral Metabolism: Implications to Health and Productivity. Animals (Basel) 2024; 14:1232. [PMID: 38672379 PMCID: PMC11047658 DOI: 10.3390/ani14081232] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/19/2024] [Revised: 04/02/2024] [Accepted: 04/08/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Mineral metabolism, in particular Ca, and to a lesser extent phosphorus (P) and magnesium (Mg), is altered with the onset of lactation because of extensive irreversible loss to synthesize colostrum and milk. The transient reduction in the concentration of Ca in blood, particularly when it lasts days, increases the risk of mineral-related disorders such as hypocalcemia and, to a lesser extent, hypophosphatemia. Although the incidence of clinical hypocalcemia can be reduced by prepartum dietary interventions, subclinical hypocalcemia remains prevalent, affecting up to 60% of the dairy cows in the first 3 d postpartum. More importantly, strong associations exist between hypocalcemia and increased susceptibility to other peripartum diseases and impaired reproductive performance. Mechanistic experiments have demonstrated the role of Ca on innate immune response in dairy cows, which presumably predisposes them to other diseases. Hypocalcemia is not related to inadequate Ca intake as prepartum diets marginal to deficient in Ca reduce the risk of the disease. Therefore, the understanding of how Ca homeostasis is regulated, in particular how calciotropic hormones such as parathyroid hormone and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, affect blood Ca concentrations, gastrointestinal Ca absorption, bone remodeling, and renal excretion of Ca become critical to develop novel strategies to prevent mineral imbalances either by nutritional or pharmacological interventions. A common method to reduce the risk of hypocalcemia is the manipulation of the prepartum dietary cation-anion difference. Feeding acidogenic diets not only improves Ca homeostasis and reduces hypocalcemia, but also reduces the risk of uterine diseases and improves productive performance. Feeding diets that induce a negative Ca balance in the last weeks of gestation also reduce the risk of clinical hypocalcemia, and recent work shows that the incorporation of mineral sequestering agents, presumably by reducing the absorption of P and Ca prepartum, increases blood Ca at calving, although benefits to production and health remain to be shown. Alternative strategies to minimize subclinical hypocalcemia with the use of vitamin D metabolites either fed prepartum or as a pharmacological agent administered immediately after calving have shown promising results in reducing hypocalcemia and altering immune cell function, which might prove efficacious to prevent diseases in early lactation. This review summarizes the current understanding of Ca homeostasis around parturition, the limited knowledge of the exact mechanisms for gastrointestinal Ca absorption in bovine, the implications of hypocalcemia on the health of dairy cows, and discusses the methods to minimize the risk of hypocalcemia and their impacts on productive performance and health in dairy cows.

Abstract
A variety of changes in mineral metabolism aiming to restore acid-base balance occur in acid loading and metabolic acidosis. Phosphate plays a key role in defense against metabolic acidosis, both as an intracellular and extracellular buffer, as well as in the renal excretion of excess acid in the form of urinary titratable acid. The skeleton acts as an extracellular buffer in states of metabolic acidosis, as the bone matrix demineralizes, leading to bone apatite dissolution and the release of phosphate, calcium, carbonate, and citrate into the circulation. The renal handling of calcium, phosphate and citrate is also affected, with resultant hypercalciuria, hyperphosphaturia and hypocitraturia.

Craig S, Khaw SER, Petrovski KR, Kirkwood RN. Effect of Feeding a Calcium Chloride Supplement on Sow Stillbirth Rate. Animals (Basel) 2024; 14:516. [PMID: 38338159 PMCID: PMC10854928 DOI: 10.3390/ani14030516] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2024] [Revised: 01/26/2024] [Accepted: 02/01/2024] [Indexed: 02/12/2024] Open
Abstract
The present study was undertaken to determine the effect of daily calcium chloride (CaCl2) supplementation from day of entry into the farrowing house until day of farrowing (6.4 ± 0.3 d) on stillbirth rates. Landrace × Large White sows (parities 4 to 6; n = 53) were offered 40 g/d CaCl2 (n = 28) or served as controls (n = 25). The morning before their estimated farrowing date, a blood sample was obtained from 25 sows for calcium measurement and a urine sample from 22 sows for pH measurement. The feeding of CaCl2 decreased urinary pH compared to the control group (p < 0.001), indicative of an induced metabolic acidosis, but there was no effect of feeding CaCl2 on serum calcium concentrations or the incidence of stillbirths. Nonetheless, regardless of treatment, sows with higher serum calcium concentrations (>2.5 vs. <2.5 mmol) or lower urine pH (<7.0 vs. >7.0) had fewer stillborn piglets (p < 0.001 for both). While showing that low serum calcium levels will increase stillbirth rates, our data indicate that the administration of 40 g/d CaCl2 for 6 d prior to farrowing was not sufficient to increase serum calcium or decrease stillbirth incidence.

Abstract
The onset of lactation is characterized by substantially altered calcium (Ca) metabolism; recently, emphasis has been placed on understanding the dynamics of blood Ca in the peripartal cow in response to this change. Thus, the aim of our study was to delineate how prepartum dietary cation-anion difference (DCAD) diets and the magnitude of Ca decline at the onset of lactation altered blood Ca dynamics in the periparturient cow. Thirty-two multiparous Holstein cows were blocked by parity, previous 305-d milk yield and expected parturition date, and randomly allocated to either a positive (+120 mEq/kg) or negative (-120 mEq/kg) DCAD diet from 251 d of gestation until parturition (n = 16/diet). Immediately after parturition cows were continuously infused for 24 h with (1) an intravenous solution of 10% dextrose or (2) Ca gluconate (CaGlc) to maintain blood ionized (iCa) concentrations at ∼1.2 mM (normocalcemia) to form 4 treatment groups (n = 8/treatment). Blood was sampled every 6 h from 102 h before parturition until 96 h after parturition and every 30 min during 24 h continuous infusion. Cows fed a negative DCAD diet prepartum exhibited a less pronounced decline in blood iCa approaching parturition with lesser magnitude of decline relative to positive DCAD-fed cows. Cows fed a negative DCAD diet prepartum required lower rates of CaGlc infusion to maintain normocalcemia in the 24 h postpartum relative to positive DCAD-fed cows. Infusion of CaGlc disrupted blood Ca and P dynamics in the immediate 24 h after parturition and in the days following infusion. Collectively, these data demonstrate that prepartum negative DCAD diets facilitate a more transient hypocalcemia and improve blood Ca profiles at the onset of lactation whereas CaGlc infusion disrupts mineral metabolism.

Abstract
Many multiparous dairy cows experience subclinical hypocalcemia (SCH) in the immediate postpartum period as they adapt to the demands of lactation. Furthermore, differing dynamics of SCH in the days following parturition are associated with varied health and production outcomes, with cows experiencing transient SCH producing more milk and facing fewer negative health events than cows with delayed or persistent SCH. Our objectives were to describe differences in mediators of calcium (Ca) homeostasis between cows experiencing differing Ca dynamics postpartum. A prospective cohort of 89 multiparous Holstein cows from 2 herds in New York were classified into 1 of 4 SCH groups based on mean serum total Ca (tCa) at 1 and 4 d in milk (DIM): normocalcemic (NC; [tCa] >1.89 mmol/L at 1 DIM and >2.25 mmol/L at 4 DIM, n = 30); transient SCH (tSCH; [tCa] ≤1.89 mmol/L at 1 DIM and >2.25 mmol/L at 4 DIM, n = 12); delayed SCH (dSCH; [tCa] >1.89 mmol/L at 1 DIM and ≤2.25 mmol/L at 4 DIM, n = 23); and persistent SCH (pSCH; [tCa] ≤1.89 mmol at 1 DIM and ≤2.25 mmol/L at 4 DIM, n = 24). Blood samples were collected at -5, -1, 1 through 5, 7, and 10 DIM and analyzed for tCa, parathyroid hormone (PTH), and serotonin. Repeated measures ANOVA models were used to analyze differences between SCH groups and changes over time for tCa, PTH, and serotonin. During the prepartum period, tCa was greater in the NC, tSCH, and dSCH cows as compared with the pSCH cows and there was marginal evidence for a difference in PTH between SCH groups. Postpartum tCa varied over time between SCH groups. Mean postpartum (95% confidence interval) tCa for respective SCH groups were NC = 2.32 (2.28, 2.35) mmol/L; tSCH = 2.20 (2.14, 2.25) mmol/L; dSCH = 2.17 (2.13, 2.21) mmol/L; and pSCH = 2.03 (1.99, 2.07) mmol/L. Mean concentrations of PTH in the postpartum period were NC = 70.1 (66.2, 74.4) pmol/L; tSCH = 72.1 (66.1, 79.2); dSCH = 75.8 (70.8, 81.5) pmol/L; and pSCH = 77.7 (72.4, 83.9) pmol/L. Serotonin was similar between SCH groups pre- and postpartum and followed a cyclical pattern from 1 to 10 DIM. Our results agreed with our hypothesis that differences in postpartum PTH might exist between cows experiencing different dynamics of SCH in the early lactation period; however, further studies are needed to confirm this difference. If true, this would suggest that Ca homeostasis may be disrupted in cows with dSCH and pSCH. Gaining a better understanding of these modulatory differences may aid in the prevention, management, and treatment of SCH.

Abstract
The kidneys have a central role in the control of acid-base homeostasis owing to bicarbonate reabsorption and production of ammonia and ammonium in the proximal tubule and active acid secretion along the collecting duct. Impaired acid excretion by the collecting duct system causes distal renal tubular acidosis (dRTA), which is characterized by the failure to acidify urine below pH 5.5. This defect originates from reduced function of acid-secretory type A intercalated cells. Inherited forms of dRTA are caused by variants in SLC4A1, ATP6V1B1, ATP6V0A4, FOXI1, WDR72 and probably in other genes that are yet to be discovered. Inheritance of dRTA follows autosomal-dominant and -recessive patterns. Acquired forms of dRTA are caused by various types of autoimmune diseases or adverse effects of some drugs. Incomplete dRTA is frequently found in patients with and without kidney stone disease. These patients fail to appropriately acidify their urine when challenged, suggesting that incomplete dRTA may represent an intermediate state in the spectrum of the ability to excrete acids. Unrecognized or insufficiently treated dRTA can cause rickets and failure to thrive in children, osteomalacia in adults, nephrolithiasis and nephrocalcinosis. Electrolyte disorders are also often present and poorly controlled dRTA can increase the risk of developing chronic kidney disease.

Abstract
Background The present study analyzed the acute responses of parathyroid hormone (PTH) and bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BSAP) to the low-intensity resistance exercise with blood flow restriction using different occlusion pressures. Methods Twelve women completed the three protocols of this crossover study: resistance exercise without blood flow restriction (RE), resistance exercise with blood flow restriction and occlusion pressure corresponding to 70% of systolic blood pressure (RE + BFR70), and resistance exercise with blood flow restriction and occlusion pressure corresponding 130% of systolic blood pressure (RE + BFR130). All exercises were performed in a guided squat apparatus with load corresponded to 30% of one-repetition maximum test. Results Relative to resting levels, PTH concentrations decreased significantly (p = .000) post-exercise in all groups and increased significantly (p = .000) 15 min post-exercise in RE + BFR70 and RE + BFR130 groups; PTH concentrations returned to resting levels after the 30-min recovery period in all groups. There was no significant difference (p >.05) between BSAP values at rest and 30 min post-exercise. Conclusion In conclusion, our results showed that protocols with blood flow restriction using occlusion pressures equivalent to 70% and 130% of systolic blood pressure were more effective than RE alone to induce PTH peaks, and to promote a metabolic condition favorable to bone anabolism.

Oral Acid Load Down-Regulates Fibroblast Growth Factor 23. Nutrients 2022; 14:nu14051041.

Abstract
Increased dietary acid load has a negative impact on health, particularly when renal function is compromised. Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) is a bone-derived hormone that is elevated during renal failure. The relationship between metabolic acidosis and FGF23 remains unclear. To investigate the effect of dietary acid load on circulating levels of FGF23, rats with normal renal function and with a graded reduction in renal mass (1/2 Nx and 5/6 Nx) received oral NH4Cl for 1 month. Acid intake resulted in a consistent decrease of plasma FGF23 concentrations in all study groups when compared with their non-acidotic control: 239.3 ± 13.5 vs. 295.0 ± 15.8 pg/mL (intact), 346.4 ± 19.7 vs. 522.6 ± 29.3 pg/mL (1/2 Nx) and 988.0 ± 125.5 vs. 2549.4 ± 469.7 pg/mL (5/6 Nx). Acidosis also decreased plasma PTH in all groups, 96.5 ± 22.3 vs. 107.3 ± 19.1 pg/mL, 113.1 ± 17.3 vs. 185.8 ± 22.2 pg/mL and 504.9 ± 75.7 vs. 1255.4 ± 181.1 pg/mL. FGF23 showed a strong positive correlation with PTH (r = 0.877, p < 0.0001) and further studies demonstrated that acidosis did not influence plasma FGF23 concentrations in parathyroidectomized rats, 190.0 ± 31.6 vs. 215 ± 25.6 pg/mL. In conclusion, plasma concentrations of FGF23 are consistently decreased in rats with metabolic acidosis secondary to increased acid intake, both in animals with intact renal function and with decreased renal function. The in vivo effect of metabolic acidosis on FGF23 appears to be related to the simultaneous decrease in PTH.

Abstract
Exercise is recommended for cardiometabolic benefits and to preserve or improve bone health, especially for older adults at increased risk of fracture. However, exercise interventions have modest benefits on areal bone mineral density (aBMD), and exercise can lead to bone loss in young athletes under certain conditions. In this narrative review, we discuss evidence for a disruption in calcium homeostasis during exercise that may diminish the skeletal benefits of exercise. Topics include 1) a general overview of the effects of exercise on aBMD; 2) discussion of the exercise-induced disruption in calcium homeostasis; 3) factors that influence the magnitude of the exercise-induced disruption in calcium homeostasis, including age, sex, and exercise mode, intensity, and duration; 4) oral calcium supplementation to minimize the exercise-induced disruption in calcium homeostasis; and 5) potential for exercise-induced increase in parathyroid hormone to be both catabolic and anabolic to bone.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endurance exercise can cause a decrease in serum ionized calcium (iCa) and increases in parathyroid hormone (PTH) and bone resorption, reflected by serum carboxy-terminal collagen crosslinks (CTX). We developed a calcium clamp to prevent the decrease in iCa during exercise, which attenuated increases in PTH and CTX during vigorous cycling in young men. The goal was to determine whether this occurs in older adults during brisk walking. METHODS Twelve older adults (6 men, 6 women) performed two identical 60-min treadmill walking bouts with Ca gluconate or half-normal saline infusion. Blood sampling for iCa, total calcium (tCa), phosphate (P), PTH, and CTX, occurred before, during, and for 4 h after exercise. RESULTS iCa decreased during exercise with the saline infusion (p = 0.04) and this provoked increases in PTH and CTX (both p < 0.01). The Ca clamp prevented the decrease in serum iCa during exercise and attenuated the PTH and CTX responses. CONCLUSIONS Preventing the exercise-induced decrease in iCa markedly attenuated the increases in PTH and CTX. The cause of the decrease in iCa during exercise remains unclear, but the increases in PTH and CTX are likely counter-regulatory responses to defend serum iCa. This contention is supported by previous observations that the disruption of Ca homeostasis during exercise occurs regardless of training status. It will be important to establish whether this acute catabolic effect of exercise diminishes the potential chronic anabolic effects of exercise on bone.

Abstract
The onset of lactation results in a sudden irreversible loss of Ca for colostrum and milk synthesis. Some cows are unable to quickly adapt to this demand and succumb to clinical hypocalcemia, whereas a larger proportion of cows develop subclinical hypocalcemia that predisposes them to other peripartum diseases. The objective of this study was to perform a comprehensive genomic analysis of blood total Ca concentration in periparturient Holstein cows. We first performed a genomic scan and a subsequent gene-set analysis to identify candidate genes, biological pathways, and molecular mechanisms affecting postpartum Ca concentration. Then, we assessed the prediction of postpartum Ca concentration using genomic information. Data consisted of 7,691 records of plasma or serum concentrations of Ca measured in the first, second, and third day after parturition of 959 primiparous and 1,615 multiparous cows that calved between December 2015 and June 2020 in 2 dairy herds. All cows were genotyped with 80k SNPs. The statistical model included lactation (1 to 5+), calf category (male, females, twins), and day as fixed effects, and season-treatment-experiment, animal, and permanent environmental as random effects. Model predictive ability was evaluated using 10-fold cross-validation. Heritability and repeatability estimates were 0.083 (standard error = 0.017) and 0.444 (standard error = 0.028). The association mapping identified 2 major regions located on Bos taurus autosome (BTA)6 and BTA16 that explained 1.2% and 0.7% of additive genetic variance of Ca concentration, respectively. Interestingly, the region on BTA6 harbors the GC gene, which encodes the vitamin D binding protein, and the region on BTA16 harbors LRRC38, which is actively involved in K transport. Other sizable peaks were identified on BTA5, BTA2, BTA7, BTA14, and BTA9. These regions harbor genes associated with Ca channels (CACNA1S, CRACR2A), K channels (KCNK9), bone remodeling (LRP6), and milk production (SOCS2). The gene-set analysis revealed terms related to vitamin transport, calcium ion transport, calcium ion binding, and calcium signaling. Genomic predictions of phenotypic and genomic estimated breeding values of Ca concentration yielded predictive correlations up to 0.50 and 0.15, respectively. Overall, the present study contributes to a better understanding of the genetic basis of postpartum blood Ca concentration in Holstein cows. In addition, the findings may contribute to the development of novel selection and management strategies for reducing periparturient hypocalcemia in dairy cattle.

Abstract
Objectives were to determine the effects of 3 different levels of dietary cation-anion difference (DCAD) fed during the last 22 d of gestation to pregnant nulliparous cows on pre- and postpartum acid-base balance, mineral metabolism, and health responses. In all, 132 pregnant nulliparous Holstein cows were enrolled at 250 (248-253) d of gestation, blocked by genomic merit of energy-corrected milk yield, and assigned randomly to diets varying in DCAD: +200 (P200, n = 43), -50 (N50, n = 45), or -150 (N150, n = 44) mEq/kg of dry matter. Dietary treatments were fed until calving, after which cows received the same lactation diet for the first 100 d postpartum. Urine and blood were sampled throughout the prepartum period and in the first weeks postpartum, and urine was assessed for pH, whereas blood was analyzed for gases, measures of acid-base balance, minerals, and metabolites. Calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) retention and phosphorus (P) digestibility were evaluated in the last week of gestation and first week of lactation. Incidence of diseases was evaluated for the first 100 d postpartum. Data are presented in sequence as P200, N50, N150 (LSM ± SEM). Reducing the DCAD reduced urine (8.17 vs. 6.50 vs. 5.51 ± 0.11) and blood pH (7.442 vs. 7.431 vs. 7.410 ± 0.004) and induced a state of compensated metabolic acidosis with a reduction in blood HCO3- (28.4 vs. 26.7 vs. 24.9 ± 0.3 mM) and partial pressure of CO2 (41.8 vs. 40.1 vs. 39.1 ± 0.4 mmHg) prepartum. Reducing the DCAD linearly increased blood ionized Ca (iCa; 1.224 vs. 1.243 vs. 1.259 ± 0.008 mM) and serum total Ca (tCa; 2.50 vs. 2.53 vs. 2.56 ± 0.02 mM) prepartum, blood iCa on the day of calving, and serum Mg in the first days postpartum. Reducing the DCAD linearly increased the apparent absorption of Ca (12.9 vs. 19.0 vs. 20.9 ± 1.4 g/d) and Mg (7.0 vs. 9.9 vs. 10.4 ± 1.4 g/d) prepartum, but apparent retention of both Ca (13.9 g/d) and Mg (3.4 g/d) did not differ with treatment. Treatment did not affect digestibility of P pre- or postpartum or retention of Ca or Mg postpartum. Treatment did not affect the incidence or prevalence of subclinical hypocalcemia, hepatic composition, or the prevalence of fatty liver. Reducing the DCAD had a quadratic effect on incidence of fever (46.5 vs. 17.6 vs. 33.9 ± 7.0%), uterine diseases (36.3 vs. 25.6 vs. 46.0 ± 7.3%), and morbidity (41.4 vs. 28.1 vs. 55.6 ± 7.3%). Feeding a diet with -50 mEq/kg of dry matter promoted moderate changes in acid-base balance, altered mineral metabolism, and benefited health of nulliparous cows; however, further reducing the DCAD to -150 mEq/kg negated the benefits to health.

Abstract
The peripartum period is characterized by dynamic shifts in metabolic, mineral, and immune metabolism as the dairy cow adapts to the demands of lactation. Emphasis over the past decade has been placed on understanding the biology of the large shift in calcium metabolism in particular. Moreover, research has also focused on exploring the role of serotonin during the transition period and lactation and further unraveling its relationship with calcium. This review aimed to demonstrate the integration of calcium physiology during the peripartal period and throughout lactation. More specifically, we sought to discuss the knowledge gained in recent years on calcium metabolism, mammary calcium transport, serotonin metabolism, and the serotonin-calcium axis. Herein we also discuss the challenges and limitations of current research and where that leaves the present understanding of the serotonin-calcium axis as we seek to move forward and continue exploring this interesting relationship.

Abstract
The objective of this experiment was to determine the effects of altering the dietary cation-anion difference (DCAD) fed for the last 21 or 42 d of gestation on glucose metabolism and tissue insulin responsiveness. Ninety parous Holstein cows at 232 d of gestation were assigned randomly to dietary treatments with 2 levels of DCAD (-70 or -180 mEq/kg) fed for 2 durations (short: the last 21 d of gestation; long: the last 42 d of gestation). For the short treatments, a diet with +110 mEq/kg was fed from 232 to 254 d of gestation. Intravenous glucose tolerance tests (IVGTT) were performed at either 250 or 270 d of gestation by infusing 0.25 g of dextrose/kg of body weight within 1 min. The following day, cows underwent an insulin challenge (IC) and received 0.1 IU of insulin/kg of body weight intravenously. Blood was sampled at min -15, -5, and 0 to establish a baseline and from 5 to 180 min relative to infusions; plasma concentrations of glucose, insulin, and fatty acids were determined, and the respective areas under the curves (AUC) were calculated. Liver was sampled after the IVGTT, and adipose tissue was sampled after the IVGTT and IC for quantification of mRNA expression and protein abundance. Reducing the DCAD altered acid-base balance compatible with a compensated metabolic acidosis. At 250 d, reducing the DCAD increased the AUC for glucose and reduced that of insulin following the IVGTT, whereas during the IC, clearance rate decreased and time to half-life of insulin increased with reducing DCAD, resulting in a tendency to a larger AUC for fatty acids. At 270 d, quantitative insulin sensitivity check index and the revised quantitative insulin sensitivity check index were smaller in cows fed the acidogenic diets for the last 42 d of gestation compared with the last 21 d of gestation, thereby suggesting reduced insulin sensitivity. In addition, cows fed for the long duration tended to have greater AUC for glucose but smaller AUC for insulin following an IVGTT than those fed for the short duration, thereby suggesting reduced insulin release and glucose disposal. Treatments did not affect hepatic mRNA expression of G6PC, PCK1, PCK2, and PC or adipose tissue mRNA expression of ATGL, ACC, B2AR, HSL, and PLIN1. On the other hand, for proteins, reducing the DCAD linearly reduced abundance of rabbit anti-mouse protein kinase B (AKT) and tended to reduce rabbit anti-human phosphorylated (Ser-9) glycogen synthase kinase-3 β (pGSK) and the pGSK:rabbit anti-human glycogen synthase kinase-3 β (GSK) ratio in hepatic tissue, whereas a linear increase in rabbit anti-human hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) and rabbit anti-mouse phosphorylated (Ser-660) hormone-sensitive lipase (pHSL) in adipose tissue was observed after the IVGTT at 250 d. Moreover, reducing the DCAD resulted in a linear reduction of AKT and tended to reduce rabbit anti-human acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) but increased pHSL linearly in adipose tissue after an IC at 250 d. Cows fed acidogenic diets for a short duration tended to have less pHSL in adipose tissue than those fed for a long duration after an IVGTT at 270 d. Associations were observed between blood pH and mRNA and protein abundance in hepatic and adipose tissues. Diet-induced metabolic acidosis altered insulin release and insulin signaling, resulting in a shift in adipose tissue metabolism that would favor lipolysis over lipogenesis.

Abstract
Objectives of the experiment were to determine the length of exposure to an acidogenic diet that would elicit changes in acid-base balance, mineral digestion, and response to parathyroid hormone (PTH)-induced changes in blood Ca and vitamin D3 in prepartum dairy cows. Nonlactating parous Holstein cows (n = 20) at 242 d of gestation were blocked by lactation (1 or >1) and pretreatment dry matter (DM) intake and, within block, they were randomly assigned to a diet with a dietary cation-anion difference (DCAD) of +200 mEq/kg of DM (DCAD +200) or an acidogenic diet with -150 mEq/kg of DM (DCAD -150). Water and DM intake were measured and blood was sampled daily. Urine was sampled every 3 h for 36 h, and then daily. During PTH challenges on d 3, 8, and 13, cows received i.v. PTH 1-34 fragment at 0.05 µg/kg of body weight every 20 min for 9 h to mimic the pulsatile release of endogenous PTH. Blood was sampled at 0 h, and hourly thereafter until 10 h, and at 12, 18, 24, 36, and 48 h relative to each challenge. Acid-base measures and concentrations of ionized Ca (iCa) in whole blood, and total Ca, Mg, P, and vitamin D metabolites in plasma were evaluated. On d 2 and 7, Ca, Mg, and P balances were evaluated. Cows fed DCAD -150 had smaller blood pH (7.431 vs. 7.389) and HCO3- (27.4 vs. 22.8 mM) compared with DCAD +200, and metabolic acidosis in DCAD -150 was observed 24 h after dietary treatments started. Concentrations of iCa begin to increase 24 h after feeding the acidogenic diet, and it was greater in DCAD -150 compared with DCAD +200 by 3 d in the experiment (1.23 vs. 1.26 mM). During the PTH challenges, cows fed DCAD -150 had greater concentration of iCa and area under the curve for iCa than those fed DCAD +200 (48.2 vs. 50.7 mmol/L × hour), and there was no interaction between treatment and challenge day. Concentration of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 in plasma did not differ during the PTH challenge, but change in 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 relative to h 0 of the challenge was smaller in cows fed DCAD -150 than cows fed DCAD +200 (44.1 vs. 32.9 pg/mL). Urinary loss of Ca was greater in cows fed DCAD -150 compared with DCAD +200 (1.8 vs. 10.8 g/d); however, because digestibility of Ca increased in cows fed DCAD -150 (19.7 vs. 36.6%), the amount of Ca retained did not differ between treatments. Diet-induced metabolic acidosis was observed by 24 h after dietary treatment started, resulting in increases in concentration of iCa in blood observed between 1 and 3 d. Collectively, present results indicate that tissue responsiveness to PTH and changes in blood concentrations of iCa and digestibility of Ca are elicited within 3 d of exposure to an acidogenic diet. The increased apparent digestibility of Ca compensated for the increased urinary loss of Ca resulting in similar Ca retention.

Abstract
Exercise perturbs homeostasis, alters the levels of circulating mediators and hormones, and increases the demand by skeletal muscles and other vital organs for energy substrates. Exercise also affects bone and mineral metabolism, particularly calcium and phosphate, both of which are essential for muscle contraction, neuromuscular signaling, biosynthesis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and other energy substrates. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is involved in the regulation of calcium and phosphate homeostasis. Understanding the effects of exercise on PTH secretion is fundamental for appreciating how the body adapts to exercise. Altered PTH metabolism underlies hyperparathyroidism and hypoparathyroidism, the complications of which affect the organs involved in calcium and phosphorous metabolism (bone and kidney) and other body systems as well. Exercise affects PTH expression and secretion by altering the circulating levels of calcium and phosphate. In turn, PTH responds directly to exercise and exercise-induced myokines. Here, we review the main concepts of the regulation of PTH expression and secretion under physiological conditions, in acute and chronic exercise, and in relation to PTH-related disorders.

Abstract
Hypocalcemia is a common finding in critically ill equine patients. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) helps to maintain calcium homeostasis in hypocalcemic patients by promoting renal calcium reabsorption and bone resorption. Increased serum PTH concentrations have been reported in critically ill people and animals, including horses and foals. It is unknown whether increased secretion of PTH is associated with markers of bone turnover in hospitalized foals. The goals of this study were to measure markers of bone resorption (C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen [CTX-I]) and bone formation (osteocalcin [OCN]; alkaline phosphatase [ALP]) and to determine their association with PTH concentrations, disease severity, and mortality in hospitalized foals. This prospective, multicenter, cross-sectional study was conducted on 75 newborn foals ≤3 d old divided into hospitalized (n = 65; 41 septic; 24 sick nonseptic) and healthy (n = 10) groups. Blood samples were collected on admission to measure serum CTX-I, OCN, and PTH concentrations and ALP activity. Data were analyzed by nonparametric methods and univariate logistic regression. Serum CTX-I and PTH concentrations were significantly higher, whereas OCN concentrations were lower, in septic compared with healthy foals (P < 0.05). Serum ALP activity was not different between groups; however, it was lower in hospitalized and septic foals with low OCN concentrations (P < 0.05). In hospitalized foals, PTH concentrations were positively correlated with CTX-I concentrations and inversely associated with ALP activity (P < 0.05). High CTX-I and low OCN concentrations were associated with disease severity (P < 0.05). Hospitalized nonsurviving foals had significantly lower OCN concentrations compared with survivors (P < 0.05), but CTX-I concentrations were not associated with survival. Hospitalized foals with PTH concentrations >12.4 pmol/L were more likely to die (OR = 1.5; 95% CI = 1.1-4.16; P < 0.05). Elevated PTH and CTX-I together with reduced OCN concentrations and ALP activity in sick foals indicates that bone resorption is increased during critical illness, which may be a compensatory mechanism to correct hypocalcemia or reflect a response to systemic inflammation and metabolic imbalances. Bone resorption could negatively impact skeletal development in the growing foal. Low OCN and high PTH concentrations were predictors of nonsurvival in hospitalized foals.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Exercise can cause a decrease in serum ionized calcium (iCa) concentration, which stimulates parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion and activates bone resorption. We postulated that dermal Ca loss during cycling exercise is the major determinant of the serum iCa, PTH, and bone resorption (C-terminal telopeptide of type 1 collagen [CTX]) responses. METHODS To investigate this, women (n = 13) and men (n = 12) age 18 to 45 yr performed the same exercise bout under cool (18°C) and warm (26°C) conditions. Exercise was 60 min of cycling at ~75% of peak aerobic power. Sweat samples were obtained during exercise using a skin patch method, and blood samples were obtained before and during exercise and during 60 min of recovery. RESULTS Sweat volume and estimated sweat Ca loss were 50% higher for the warm condition than the cool condition. Despite this, there were no differences between thermal conditions in the changes (mean, 95% confidence interval [95% CI]) in iCa (cool, -0.07 mg·dL; 95% CI, -0.16 to 0.03); warm, -0.07 mg·dL; 95% CI, -0.20 to 0.05), PTH (cool, 34.4 pg·mL; 95% CI, 23.6-45.2; warm: 35.8 pg·mL; 95% CI, 22.4-49.1), or CTX (cool, 0.11 ng·mL; 95% CI, 0.08-0.13; warm, 0.15 ng·mL; 95% CI, 0.11-0.18). Adjusting for exercise-related shifts in plasma volume revealed a marked decline in vascular iCa content in the first 15 min of exercise (cool, -0.85 mg·dL; 95% CI, -1.01 to -0.68; warm, -0.85 mg·dL; 95% CI, -1.05 to -0.66), before substantial sweat Ca loss had occurred. CONCLUSIONS This indicates that dermal Ca loss was not the primary trigger for the increases in PTH and CTX during exercise. Further research is necessary to understand the causes and consequences of the disruption in Ca homeostasis during exercise and specifically the extravascular shift in iCa.

Maintenance of Serum Ionized Calcium During Exercise Attenuates Parathyroid Hormone and Bone Resorption Responses. J Bone Miner Res 2018; 33:1326-1334.

Abstract
Exercise can cause a decrease in serum ionized calcium (iCa) and increases in parathyroid hormone (PTH) and bone resorption. We used a novel intravenous iCa clamp technique to determine whether preventing a decline in serum iCa during exercise prevents increases in PTH and carboxy-terminal collagen crosslinks (CTX). Eleven cycling-trained men (aged 18 to 45 years) underwent two identical 60-min cycling bouts with infusion of Ca gluconate or saline. Blood sampling for iCa, total calcium (tCa), PTH, CTX, and procollagen type 1 amino-terminal propeptide (P1NP) occurred before, during, and for 4 hours after exercise; results are presented as unadjusted and adjusted for plasma volume shifts (denoted with subscript ADJ). iCa decreased during exercise with saline infusion (p = 0.01 at 60 min) and this was prevented by Ca infusion (interaction, p < 0.007); there were abrupt decreases in Ca content (iCaADJ and tCaADJ ) in the first 15 min of exercise under both conditions. PTH and CTX were increased at the end of exercise (both p < 0.01) on the saline day, and markedly attenuated (-65% and -71%; both p < 0.001) by Ca. CTX remained elevated for 4 hours after exercise on the saline day (p < 0.001), despite the return of PTH to baseline by 1 hour after exercise. P1NP increased in response to exercise (p < 0.001), with no difference between conditions, but the increase in P1NPADJ was not significant. Results for PTHADJ and CTXADJ were similar to unadjusted results. These findings demonstrate that bone resorption is stimulated early in exercise to defend serum iCa. Vascular Ca content decreased early in exercise, but neither the reason why this occurred, nor the fate of Ca, are known. The results suggest that the exercise-induced increase in PTH had an acute catabolic effect on bone. Future research should determine whether the increase in PTH generates an anabolic response that occurs more than 4 hours after exercise. © 2018 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23) and klotho are key regulators of vitamin D and parathyroid hormone (PTH) synthesis as well as phosphorus and calcium homeostasis; however, information on the FGF-23/klotho axis in healthy and hospitalised foals is lacking. OBJECTIVES The aims of this study were to measure serum FGF-23 and klotho concentrations and determine their association with serum phosphorus, total calcium (TCa), vitamin D metabolite [25(OH)D, 1,25(OH)2 D], PTH, and aldosterone concentrations, disease severity, and mortality in hospitalised foals. STUDY DESIGN Prospective, multicentre, cross-sectional study. METHODS A total of 91 foals ≤72 h old were classified as hospitalised (n = 81; 58 septic; 23 sick non-septic [SNS]) and healthy (n = 10). Blood samples were collected on admission. Hormone concentrations were determined by immunoassays. RESULTS Serum FGF-23, PTH, phosphorus, and aldosterone concentrations were higher while klotho, 25(OH)D, 1,25(OH)2 D, and TCa concentrations were lower in septic and SNS compared to healthy foals (P<0.05). In hospitalised and septic foals, increased FGF-23 and aldosterone concentrations were associated with high phosphorus and PTH but not with TCa and vitamin D metabolite concentrations. Hospitalised foals with the highest FGF-23 and lowest klotho concentrations were more likely to die (odds ratio (OR): 3.3; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.1-10.3 and OR: 3.1; CI: 1.1-8.0, respectively). MAIN LIMITATIONS Blood gas, ionised calcium, blood culture information not being available for many foals, and use of the sepsis score to classify hospitalised foals. CONCLUSIONS Imbalances in the FGF-23/klotho axis may contribute to mineral dyshomeostasis and disease progression in critically ill foals. Elevated FGF-23 and reduced klotho, together with high phosphorus and PTH concentrations suggests FGF-23 resistance. FGF-23 and klotho are good markers of disease severity and likelihood of mortality in hospitalised foals. Aldosterone may influence phosphorus and PTH dynamics in hospitalised foals. Routine measurement of phosphorus concentrations in sick foals is recommended.

Abstract
The effect of chronic metabolic acidosis (MA) on cardiovascular disease (CVD) in the setting of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is largely unknown. Therefore, we aimed to study this relationship in nondialysis CKD patients.This cross-sectional, single-center study prospectively enrolled 95 clinically stable CKD patients (median age 61 (58, 65) years, 60% male, median eGFR 27 (22, 32) mL/min). Data on CKD etiology, CVD history, CVD traditional, and nontraditional risk factors were obtained. Also, markers of subclinical CVD were assessed: intima-media thickness (IMT), abdominal aortic calcifications (Kauppila score-AACs), cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI), ankle-brachial index (ABI), ejection fraction, and interventricular septum thickness. Using the serum bicarbonate cutoff value of 22 mEq/L, comparisons between MA (<22 mEq/L; 43 patients) and non-MA (≥22 mEq/L; 52 patients) groups were performed.Vascular (40%), tubulointerstitial (24%), and glomerular (22%) nephropathies were the main causes of CKD. Twenty-three percent of patients had diabetes mellitus, but only 5% were considered to have diabetic nephropathy. Patients with chronic MA had lower eGFR (P < .01), higher iPTH (P = .01), higher serum phosphate (P < .01), and increased serum cholesterol (P = .04) and triglycerides (P = .01).Higher ABI (P = .04), lower IMT (P = .03), CAVI (P = .05), and AACs (P = .03) were found in patients with chronic MA.Separate binomial logistic regression models were performed using ABI (cutoff 0.9), CAVI (cutoff 9), IMT (cutoff 0.1 cm), and AACs (cutoff 1) as dependent variables. MA was used as independent variable and adjustments were made for iPTH, serum phosphate, eGFR, proteinuria, cholesterol, triglycerides, CVD score. The absence of MA was retained as an independent predictor only for the presence of AACs.In conclusion, the present study shows a potential advantageous effect of MA on vascular calcifications in predialysis CKD patients. Thus, a guideline relaxation of the serum bicarbonate target might prove to be beneficial in CKD patients at high risk of vascular calcifications. However, one should always consider the negative effects of MA. Therefore, additional research is warranted before any clear clinical recommendation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The kidneys maintain acid-base homeostasis through excretion of acid as either ammonium or as titratable acids that primarily use phosphate as a buffer. In chronic kidney disease (CKD), ammoniagenesis is impaired, promoting metabolic acidosis. Metabolic acidosis stimulates phosphaturic hormones, parathyroid hormone (PTH) and fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF-23) in vitro, possibly to increase urine titratable acid buffers, but this has not been confirmed in humans. We hypothesized that higher acid load and acidosis would associate with altered phosphorus homeostasis, including higher urinary phosphorus excretion and serum PTH and FGF-23. STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional. SETTING & PARTICIPANTS 980 participants with CKD enrolled in the Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort (CRIC) Study. PREDICTORS Net acid excretion as measured in 24-hour urine, potential renal acid load (PRAL) estimated from food frequency questionnaire responses, and serum bicarbonate concentration < 22 mEq/L. OUTCOME & MEASUREMENTS 24-hour urine phosphorus and calcium excretion and serum phosphorus, FGF-23, and PTH concentrations. RESULTS Using linear and log-linear regression adjusted for demographics, kidney function, comorbid conditions, body mass index, diuretic use, and 24-hour urine creatinine excretion, we found that 24-hour urine phosphorus excretion was higher at higher net acid excretion, higher PRAL, and lower serum bicarbonate concentration (each P<0.05). Serum phosphorus concentration was also higher with higher net acid excretion and lower serum bicarbonate concentration (each P=0.001). Only higher net acid excretion associated with higher 24-hour urine calcium excretion (P<0.001). Neither net acid excretion nor PRAL was associated with FGF-23 or PTH concentrations. PTH, but not FGF-23, concentration (P=0.2) was 26% (95% CI, 13%-40%) higher in participants with a serum bicarbonate concentration <22 versus ≥22 mEq/L (P<0.001). Primary results were similar if stratified by estimated glomerular filtration rate categories or adjusted for iothalamate glomerular filtration rate (n=359), total energy intake, dietary phosphorus, or urine urea nitrogen excretion, when available. LIMITATIONS Possible residual confounding by kidney function or nutrition; urine phosphorus excretion was included in calculation of the titratable acid component of net acid excretion. CONCLUSIONS In CKD, higher acid load and acidosis associate independently with increased circulating phosphorus concentration and augmented phosphaturia, but not consistently with FGF-23 or PTH concentrations. This may be an adaptation that increases titratable acid excretion and thus helps maintain acid-base homeostasis in CKD. Understanding whether administration of base can lower phosphorus concentrations requires testing in interventional trials.

Abstract
Calcitonin is a 32 amino acid hormone secreted by the C-cells of the thyroid gland. Calcitonin has been preserved during the transition from ocean-based life to land dwellers and is phylogenetically older than parathyroid hormone. Calcitonin secretion is stimulated by increases in the serum calcium concentration and calcitonin protects against the development of hypercalcemia. Calcitonin is also stimulated by gastrointestinal hormones such as gastrin. This has led to the unproven hypothesis that postprandial calcitonin stimulation could play a role in the deposition of calcium and phosphate in bone after feeding. However, no bone or other abnormalities have been described in states of calcitonin deficiency or excess except for diarrhea in a few patients with medullary thyroid carcinoma. Calcitonin is known to stimulate renal 1,25 (OH)2 vitamin D (1,25D) production at a site in the proximal tubule different from parathyroid hormone and hypophosphatemia. During pregnancy and lactation, both calcitonin and 1,25D are increased. The increases in calcitonin and 1,25D may be important in the transfer of maternal calcium to the fetus/infant and in the prevention and recovery of maternal bone loss. Calcitonin has an immediate effect on decreasing osteoclast activity and has been used for treatment of hypercalcemia. Recent studies in the calcitonin gene knockout mouse have shown increases in bone mass and bone formation. This last result together with the presence of calcitonin receptors on the osteocyte suggests that calcitonin could possibly affect osteocyte products which affect bone formation. In summary, a precise role for calcitonin remains elusive more than 50 years after its discovery.

Abstract
The calcium-sensing receptor (CaR) modulates renal calcium reabsorption and parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion and is involved in the etiology of secondary hyperparathyroidism in CKD. Supraphysiologic changes in extracellular pH (pHo) modulate CaR responsiveness in HEK-293 (CaR-HEK) cells. Therefore, because acidosis and alkalosis are associated with altered PTH secretion in vivo, we examined whether pathophysiologic changes in pHo can significantly alter CaR responsiveness in both heterologous and endogenous expression systems and whether this affects PTH secretion. In both CaR-HEK and isolated bovine parathyroid cells, decreasing pHo from 7.4 to 7.2 rapidly inhibited CaR-induced intracellular calcium (Ca(2+)i) mobilization, whereas raising pHo to 7.6 potentiated responsiveness to extracellular calcium (Ca(2+)o). Similar pHo effects were observed for Ca(2+)o-induced extracellular signal-regulated kinase phosphorylation and actin polymerization and for L-Phe-induced Ca(2+)i mobilization. Intracellular pH was unaffected by acute 0.4-unit pHo changes, and the presence of physiologic albumin concentrations failed to attenuate the pHo-mediated effects. None of the individual point mutations created at histidine or cysteine residues in the extracellular domain of CaR attenuated pHo sensitivity. Finally, pathophysiologic pHo elevation reversibly suppressed PTH secretion from perifused human parathyroid cells, and acidosis transiently increased PTH secretion. Therefore, pathophysiologic pHo changes can modulate CaR responsiveness in HEK-293 and parathyroid cells independently of extracellular histidine residues. Specifically, pathophysiologic acidification inhibits CaR activity, thus permitting PTH secretion, whereas alkalinization potentiates CaR activity to suppress PTH secretion. These findings suggest that acid-base disturbances may affect the CaR-mediated control of parathyroid function and calcium metabolism in vivo.

Abstract
A 58-year-old man with Stage 3b chronic kidney disease and primary hyperparathyroidism treated with cinacalcet was admitted for acute cholecystitis. A cholecystostomy tube was placed, estimated glomerular filtration rate decreased, metabolic acidosis developed and ionized calcium increased from 1.33 to 1.76 mM despite cinacalcet administration. A sodium bicarbonate infusion corrected the metabolic acidosis restoring ionized calcium to normal despite no improvement in renal function. The correlation between the increase in serum bicarbonate and decrease in ionized calcium was r = −0.93, P < 0.001. In summary, severe hypercalcemia was attributable to metabolic acidosis increasing calcium efflux from bone while renal failure decreased the capacity to excrete calcium.

Abstract
CONTEXT Cadmium (Cd) is a widespread environmental pollutant that is associated with increased risk of osteoporosis. It has been proposed that Cd's toxic effect on bone is exerted via impaired activation of vitamin D, secondary to the kidney effects. OBJECTIVE The present study was designed to investigate the damaging impact of Cd in drinking water on bone from biochemical and histopathological point of view. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study was conducted on 30, 3-months-old female Sprague Dawley rats exposed to cadmium chloride in a dose of 50 mg Cd/L in drinking water for 3 months. Serum was taken for determination of calcium, phosphorous levels, parathyroid hormone, 1,25 dihydroxy vitamin D(3), osteocalcin (OC) and bone specific alkaline phosphatase (BALP) activity. RESULTS The result revealed that Cd administration induces significant increase in serum calcium (Ca), phosphorous (P) and parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels in concomitant with significant reduction in serum vitamin D(3), osteocalcin (OC) levels and bone specific alkaline phosphatase (BALP) activity. CONCLUSION The present study provided clear evidence that long-term exposure to cadmium chloride produced marked abnormalities in bone biomarkers and increasing risk of fracture.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion is partially regulated by circulating catecholamines. We examined the effect of different anesthetic techniques on intraoperative PTH (IOPTH) levels in patients undergoing parathyroidectomy for primary hyperparathyroidism. METHODS We prospectively studied 132 patients divided into 3 anesthetic cohorts: monitored anesthetic care (MAC; n = 45), general anesthesia with laryngeal mask airway (LMA; n = 43), or general endotracheal anesthesia (GETA; n = 39). IOPTH levels were drawn before induction and at defined intervals postinduction. RESULTS All anesthetic techniques increased IOPTH levels from preinduction to 3 minutes postinduction (MAC, 28%; LMA, 45%; GETA, 65%; P < .001). Temporal trends in postinduction IOPTH levels were similar in patients receiving general anesthesia, characterized by a peak effect at 6 minutes. Using a multivariate logistic regression analysis, GETA was >7 times more likely to increase the preinduction IOPTH by ≥ 50% at 3 minutes postinduction compared with MAC (P < .0001). Using immediate postinduction IOPTH levels in surgical decision making would have led to failed surgery in 2 of 6 patients with multiple gland disease receiving GETA. CONCLUSION Preincision IOPTH samples should be drawn before induction to avoid incorporation of potentially misleading anesthetic-related IOPTH elevations into surgical decision making.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Hypercalcemia is a common complication in renal transplant recipients and has been associated with nephrocalcinosis and poor graft outcome. The performance of total calcium (tCa) in the diagnosis of blood calcium disturbances in renal transplant recipients is unknown. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS We compared the ability of total tCa concentration to identify low, normal, or high ionized calcium (iCa) concentration, i.e., the gold standard, in an unselected cohort of 268 renal transplant recipients. All patients were studied 3 and 12 months after successful engraftment. RESULTS Hypercalcemia, defined as a iCa >1.29 mmol/L, was present in 58.6 and 44.8% of the patients at months 3 and 12, respectively. tCa concentrations >10.3 mg/dl, conversely, were observed in only 13.1% of the patients. Measuring tCa had a low sensitivity (20.3 and 24.2% at months 3 and 12, respectively) for the diagnosis of hypercalcemia. The agreement (κ coefficient [95% confidence interval]) between tCa concentrations and iCa was poor (month 3: 0.11 [0.05 to 0.17]; month 12: 0.20 [0.11 to 0.30]). The risk for underestimating iCa was increased by a low total bicarbonate concentration. Metabolic acidosis was observed in 48.1 and 37.3% of the patients at months 3 and 12, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Total calcium greatly underestimates the diagnosis of hypercalcemia in incident renal transplant recipients. This is mainly explained by the high prevalence of metabolic acidosis in these patients.

Abstract
Physical exercise has frequently been shown to improve bone mass, especially at load-bearing bone sites. It is widely acknowledged that the anabolic effects of exercise on bone tissue are related to the application of mechanical constraints, but part of the osteogenic response may be due to other factors. In particular, various hormonal parameters that are modified by training, such as insulin-like growth factor-1 and sexual hormones, may modulate the bone response. In contrast, little is known about the involvement of calciotropic hormones in the adaptation mechanism of bone tissue. These hormones, which include parathyroid hormone, vitamin D metabolites, and calcitonin, are highly implicated in the regulation of both bone remodeling and calcium homeostasis. In addition to their direct action on bone cell activity, these hormones act on various target tissues such as kidney and intestine. This article describes the acute and long-term effects of exercise on both calcium homeostasis and calciotropic hormones in various populations. It clearly shows that exercise modifies calcium homeostasis and calciotropic hormone levels and that the variations in response are modulated by parameters related to exercise, including duration and intensity, as well as by individual characteristics such as age, sex, and training status.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Disorders of calcium regulation are frequently found in humans with critical illness, yet limited information exists in foals with similar conditions including septicemia. The purpose of this study was to determine whether disorders of calcium exist in septic foals, and to determine any association with survival. HYPOTHESIS Blood concentrations of ionized calcium (Ca(2+)) and magnesium (Mg(2+)) will be lower in septic foals with concomitant increases in parathyroid hormone (PTH), calcitonin (CT), and parathyroid-related peptide (PTHrP) compared with healthy foals. The magnitude of these differences will be negatively associated with survival. ANIMALS Eighty-two septic, 40 sick nonseptic, and 24 healthy foals of <or=7 days were included. METHODS Prospective, observational study. Blood was collected at initial examination for analysis. Foals with positive blood culture or sepsis score >or=14 were considered septic. Foals with disease other than sepsis and healthy foals were used as controls. Hormone concentrations were measured with validated immunoassays. RESULTS Septic foals had decreased Ca(2+) (5.6 versus 6.1 mg/dL, P < .01) and increased serum PTH (16.2 versus 3.2 pmol/L, P < .05), and phosphorus concentrations (7.1 versus 6.3 mg/dL, P < .01). No differences in serum Mg(2+), PTHrP, and CT concentrations were found. Nonsurviving septic foals (n = 42/82) had higher PTH concentrations (41.1 versus 10.7 pmol/L, P < .01) than survivors (n = 40/82). CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL IMPORTANCE Septic foals were more likely to have disorders of calcium regulation compared with healthy foals, where hyperparathyroidemia was associated with nonsurvival.

Abstract
Ageing is associated with a gradual bone loss and physical activity has been suggested as practical strategy for a non-pharmacological prevention of osteoporosis. However, until now, the specific mechanism by which physical activity affects bone tissue is not thoroughly understood. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of strenuous exercise on bone metabolism as a function of age and fitness level. Eighteen physically highly active elderly participants (mean age 71.7+/-7.3 years, HAcEl group), 18 moderately active elderly participants (mean age 71.9+/-8.6 years, ModEl group) and 9 young physically active participants (mean age 25.8+/-2.3 years, AcYo) participated in this study. Concentrations of plasma ionised calcium (iCa), serum parathyroid hormone (iPTH), 25-hydroxy-vitamin D [25(OH)D], and 1,25-dihydroxy-vitamin D3 [1,25(OH)(2)D3] as well as the bone biochemical markers type-I collagen C-telopeptide (CTX) for bone resorption and osteocalcin (OC) and bone alkaline phosphatase (B-ALP) for bone formation, were analyzed before and after a maximal incremental exercise test. In all groups, iCa decreased significantly (p<0.05 for ModEl and AcYo and p<0.001 for HAcEl) while iPTH increased significantly (p<0.01 for ModEl and HAcEl and p<0.001 for AcYo) after exercise. The levels of 1,25(OH)(2)D3, OC and CTX remained unchanged, while 25(OH)D decreased only in HAcEl group while B-ALP increased in ModEl group. In conclusion, strenuous exercise disturbed calcium homeostasis, mainly the iCa/iPTH equilibrium independently of gender, age or fitness level of the participants while no immediate effect on bone turnover was observed.

Abstract
Metabolic acidosis is common in patients with chronic kidney disease, which is known to affect bone metabolism. We examined the effect of metabolic acidosis on the development of vascular and other soft-tissue calcifications in uremic rats treated with calcitriol. Extraskeletal calcification was measured in vivo, in control rats and rats with a remnant kidney model of uremia with or without ammonium chloride-induced acidosis. Soft-tissue calcification was assessed histologically, by measurement of the expression of the sodium-dependent phosphate cotransporter Pit-1 and by quantification of tissue calcium and phosphorus. Calcitriol administration to uremic rats resulted in significant deposition of material positive for von Kossa stain in the aorta, stomach, and kidney, elevated aortic calcium and phosphorus, increased aortic Pit-1 expression, and high mortality. Calcitriol-treated uremic rats with acidosis did not develop aortic or soft-tissue calcification, did not increase aortic Pit-1 expression, and had significantly lower mortality. Additionally, an acidotic environment prevented calcification of vascular smooth muscle cells in vitro. Our study shows that metabolic acidosis inhibits extraskeletal calcification.

Abstract
This review examines the dynamics of parathyroid hormone secretion in health and in various causes of secondary hyperparathyroidism. Although most studies of parathyroid hormone and calcium have focused on the modification of parathyroid hormone secretion by serum calcium, the relationship between parathyroid hormone and serum calcium is bifunctional because parathyroid hormone also modifies serum calcium. In normal animals and humans, factors such as phosphorus and vitamin D modify the basal parathyroid hormone level and the maximal parathyroid hormone response to hypocalcemia. Certain medications, such as lithium and estrogen, in normal individuals and sustained changes in the serum calcium concentration in hemodialysis patients change the set point of calcium, which reflects the serum calcium concentration at which parathyroid hormone secretion responds. Hypocalcemia increases the basal/maximal parathyroid hormone ratio, a measure of the relative degree of parathyroid hormone stimulation. The phenomenon of hysteresis, defined as a different parathyroid hormone value for the same serum calcium concentration during the induction of and recovery from hypo- and hypercalcemia, is discussed because it provides important insights into factors that affect parathyroid hormone secretion. In three causes of secondary hyperparathyroidism--chronic kidney disease, vitamin D deficiency, and aging--factors that affect the dynamics of parathyroid hormone secretion are evaluated in detail. During recovery from vitamin D deficiency, the maximal parathyroid hormone remains elevated while the basal parathyroid hormone value rapidly becomes normal because of a shift in the set point of calcium. Much remains to be learned about the dynamics of parathyroid hormone secretion in health and secondary hyperparathyroidism.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Metabolic studies reveal that acidogenic diets increase bone resorption acutely. This study was conducted to examine associations between diet-induced changes in net acid excretion (NAE) and changes in serum parathyroid hormone (PTH), bone resorption, and calcium excretion over a longer period of 60 days. METHODS Forty healthy older men and women were given 0.75 g/kg of protein as meat, 600 mg of calcium, and 400 IU of vitamin D3 daily and either cereal (acidogenic) or fruit and vegetable (alkalinogenic) foods as substitutes for some of the cereal in their usual diets. Blood and 24-hr urine measurements were made on days 14 (baseline), 44, and 74. RESULTS In all subjects, change in renal NAE was correlated with changes in serum PTH (r = 0.358, P = 0.023), urinary N-telopeptide (NTX) (r = 0.367, P = 0.020), and urinary calcium excretion (rp = 0.381, P = 0.020, after adjustment for diet group, change in PTH, and change in sodium excretion). CONCLUSIONS Diet changes that increase renal NAE are associated with increases in serum PTH, bone resorption, and calcium excretion over a 60-day period.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of metabolic acidosis and changes in ionized calcium (Ca2+) concentration on PaO2 in dogs. ANIMALS 33 anesthetized dogs receiving assisted ventilation. PROCEDURE Normal acid-base status was maintained in 8 dogs (group I), and metabolic acidosis was induced in 25 dogs. For 60 minutes, normocalcemia was maintained in group I and 10 other dogs (group II), and 10 dogs were allowed to become hypercalcemic (group III); hypocalcemia was then induced in groups I and II. Groups II and IV (5 dogs) were treated identically except that, at 90 minutes, the latter underwent parathyroidectomy. At intervals, variables including PaO2, Ca2+ concentration, arterial blood pH (pHa), and systolic blood pressure were assessed. RESULTS In group II, PaO2 increased from baseline value (96 +/- 2 mm Hg) within 10 minutes (pHa, 7.33 +/- 0.001); at 60 minutes (pHa, 7.21 +/- 0.02), PaO2 was 108 +/- 2 mm Hg. For the same pHa decrease, the PaO2 increase was less in group III. In group I, hypocalcemia caused PaO2 to progressively increase (from 95 +/- 2 mm Hg to 104 +/- 3 mm Hg), which correlated (r = -0.66) significantly with a decrease in systolic blood pressure (from 156 +/- 9 mm Hg to 118 +/- 10 mm Hg). Parathyroidectomy did not alter PaO2 values. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Induction of hypocalcemia and metabolic acidosis each increased PaO2 in anesthetized dogs, whereas acidosis-induced hypercalcemia attenuated that increase. In anesthetized dogs, development of metabolic acidosis or hypocalcemia is likely to affect ventilatory control.

Abstract
This review summarizes the factors involved in the development of hyperparathyroidism secondary (2nd-HPTH) to chronic kidney disease (CKD). Calcium and calcitriol act on their respective specific parathyroid cell receptors to inhibit parathyroid function. As well as the well-known effect of calcium and calcitriol on parathyroid cell function, there is experimental work that demonstrates that phosphate, changes in pH, PTHrP, estrogens, and some cytokines also have an effect on PTH secretion. These factors are relevant in patients with chronic kidney disease. However, low calcium, vitamin D deficiency, and an accumulation of phosphate due to the decrease in renal function are the main pathogenic factors involved in the pathogenesis of 2nd-HPTH in CKD patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of strenuous exercise on bone metabolism and related hormones in elderly subjects. METHODS Twenty one active elderly subjects (11 men and 10 women; mean age 73.3 years) showing a mean theoretical Vo2max of 151.4% participated. Concentrations of plasma ionised calcium (iCa), serum intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH), 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D), and 1.25-dihydroxy-vitamin D3 (1.25(OH)2D3), as well as the bone biochemical markers type I collagen C-telopeptide for bone resorption and osteocalcin and bone alkaline phosphatase for bone formation, were analysed before and after a maximal incremental exercise test. RESULTS At basal level, iPTH was positively correlated with age (r = 0.56, p < 0.01) and negatively correlated with 25(OH)D (r = -0.50; p < 0.01) and 1.25(OH)2D3 (r = -0.47; p < 0.05). Moreover, 25(OH)D and 1.25(OH)2D3 levels were negatively correlated with age (r = -0.50, p < 0.01 and r = -0.53, p < 0.01, respectively). After exercise, iCa and 25(OH)D decreased (p < 0.001 and p = 0.01, respectively) while iPTH increased (p < 0.001). The levels of 1.25(OH)2D3, bone biochemical markers, haematocrit, and haemoglobin were unchanged. The variations in iCa and 25(OH)D were not related to age and/or sex. The iPTH variation was directly related to basal iPTH levels (p < 0.01) and indirectly related to age. CONCLUSIONS In active elderly subjects, strenuous exercise disturbed calcium homeostasis and bone related hormones without immediate measurable effect on bone turnover. Although an increase in iPTH could have an anabolic action on bone tissue, our findings from our short term study did not allow us to conclude that such action occurred.

Abstract
Recently, we showed that both acute metabolic acidosis and respiratory acidosis stimulate parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion in the dog. To evaluate the specific effect of acidosis, ionized calcium (iCa) was clamped at a normal value. Because iCa values normally increase during acute acidosis, we now have studied the PTH response to acute metabolic and respiratory acidosis in dogs in which the iCa concentration was allowed to increase (nonclamped) compared with dogs with a normal iCa concentration (clamped). Five groups of dogs were studied: control, metabolic (clamped and nonclamped), and respiratory (clamped and nonclamped) acidosis. Metabolic (HCl infusion) and respiratory (hypoventilation) acidosis was progressively induced during 60 min. In the two clamped groups, iCa was maintained at a normal value with an EDTA infusion. Both metabolic and respiratory acidosis increased (P < 0.05) iCa values in nonclamped groups. In metabolic acidosis, the increase in iCa was progressive and greater (P < 0.05) than in respiratory acidosis, in which iCa increased by 0.04 mM and then remained constant despite further pH reductions. The increase in PTH values was greater (P < 0.05) in clamped than in nonclamped groups (metabolic and respiratory acidosis). In the nonclamped metabolic acidosis group, PTH values first increased and then decreased from peak values when iCa increased by > 0.1 mM. In the nonclamped respiratory acidosis group, PTH values exceeded (P < 0.05) baseline values only after iCa values stopped increasing at a pH of 7.30. For the same increase in iCa in the nonclamped groups, PTH values increased more in metabolic acidosis. In conclusion, 1) both metabolic acidosis and respiratory acidosis stimulate PTH secretion; 2) the physiological increase in the iCa concentration during the induction of metabolic and respiratory acidosis reduces the magnitude of the PTH increase; 3) in metabolic acidosis, the increase in the iCa concentration can be of sufficient magnitude to reverse the increase in PTH values; and 4) for the same degree of acidosis-induced hypercalcemia, the increase in PTH values is greater in metabolic than in respiratory acidosis.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Acute alkalosis may directly affect PTH secretion. The effect of acute metabolic and respiratory alkalosis was studied in 20 dogs. PTH values were lower in the metabolic (5.6 +/- 0.8 pg/ml) and respiratory (1.8 +/- 0.6 pg/ml) alkalosis groups than in the control group (27 +/- 5 pg/ml). Acute alkalosis is an independent factor that decreases PTH values during normocalcemia and delays the PTH response to hypocalcemia. INTRODUCTION We recently showed that acute metabolic and respiratory acidosis stimulated PTH secretion. This study was designed to evaluate whether acute metabolic and respiratory alkalosis suppressed parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion. MATERIALS AND METHODS Three groups of 10 dogs were studied: control, acute metabolic alkalosis, and acute respiratory alkalosis. Metabolic alkalosis was induced with an infusion of sodium bicarbonate and respiratory alkalosis by hyperventilation. Calcium chloride was infused to prevent alkalosis-induced hypocalcemia during the first 60 minutes. During the next 30 minutes, disodium EDTA was infused to induce hypocalcemia and to evaluate the PTH response to hypocalcemia. Because the infusion of sodium bicarbonate resulted in hypernatremia, the effect of hypernatremia was studied in an additional group that received hypertonic saline. RESULTS After 60 minutes of a normocalcemic clamp, PTH values were less (p < 0.05) in the metabolic (5.6 +/- 0.8 pg/ml) and respiratory (1.8 +/- 0.6 pg/ml) alkalosis groups than in the control group (27 +/- 5 pg/ml); the respective blood pH values were 7.61 +/- 0.01, 7.59 +/- 0.02, and 7.39 +/- 0.02. The maximal PTH response to hypocalcemia was similar among the three groups. However, the maximal PTH response was observed after a decrease in ionized calcium of 0.20 mM in the control group but not until a decrease of 0.40 mM in the metabolic and respiratory alkalosis groups. In contrast to the metabolic alkalosis group, hypernatremia (157 +/- 2 mEq/liter) in the hypertonic saline group was associated with an increased PTH value (46 +/- 4 pg/ml). Finally, the half-life of intact PTH was not different among the control and two alkalosis groups. CONCLUSIONS Acute metabolic and respiratory alkalosis markedly decreased PTH values during normocalcemia and delayed the PTH response to hypocalcemia. Whether acute metabolic and respiratory alkalosis affect PTH and calcium metabolism in such settings as the postprandial alkaline tide (metabolic alkalosis) and acute sepsis (respiratory alkalosis) deserves to be evaluated in future studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent evidence has shown that the assay for 'intact' parathyroid hormone (I-PTH) not only reacts with 1-84 PTH but also with large non-1-84 PTH fragments, most of which is probably 7-84 PTH. As a result, an assay specific for 1-84 PTH named 'whole' PTH (W-PTH) has been developed. The present study was designed: (i) to determine whether the W-PTH assay reliably measures PTH values in the dog; (ii) to evaluate differences between the W-PTH and I-PTH assays during hypo- and hypercalcaemia; and (iii) to assess the peripheral metabolism of W-PTH and I-PTH. METHODS In normal dogs, hypocalcaemia was induced by EDTA infusion and was followed with a 90 min hypocalcaemic clamp. Hypercalcaemia was induced with a calcium infusion. RESULTS I-PTH and W-PTH values increased from 36+/-8 and 13+/-3 pg/ml (P=0.01) at baseline to a maximum of 158+/-40 and 62+/-15 pg/ml (P=0.02 vs I-PTH) during hypocalcaemia. The W-PTH/I-PTH ratio, 38+/-4% at baseline, did not change during the induction of hypocalcaemia, but sustained hypocalcaemia increased (P<0.05) this ratio. During hypercalcaemia, maximal suppression for I-PTH was 2.0+/-0.5 and only 5.7+/-0.6 pg/ml for W-PTH, due to a decreased sensitivity of the W-PTH assay at values <5 pg/ml. The disappearance rate of PTH was determined in five additional dogs which underwent a parathyroidectomy (PTX). At 2.5 min after PTX, W-PTH was metabolized more rapidly, with a value of 25+/-2% of the pre-PTX value vs 30+/-3% for I-PTH (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS (i) The W-PTH/I-PTH ratio is less in the normal dog than in the normal human, suggesting that the percentage of non-1-84 PTH measured with the I-PTH assay is greater in normal dogs than in normal humans; (ii) the lack of change in the W-PTH/I-PTH ratio during acute hypocalcaemia is different from the situation observed in humans; and (iii) the dog appears to be a good model to study I-PTH and W-PTH assays during hypocalcaemia.
