ABSTRACT

For four weeks after weaning, rats were fed either on a diet without any calcium utilization factors (-D) or on the same diet with cholecalciferol (+D) or sorbitol (S). In the -D group, blood calcium levels decreased whilst alkaline phosphatase activities in blood and bone were increased. For +D and S groups, these parameters were normal. Using everted or in situ ligatured loops, calcium transfer from a CaCl2 + 45Ca solution was measured in the duodenum, the jejunum and in the ileum. Alkaline phosphatase activity from these regions was also measured. For the three diets and for all regions of the intestine, there was a good correlation between calcium transfer and phosphatase activity. These values were higher in the duodenum than in the ileum or jejunum, and also higher in the ileum in the +D group than in the -D and S groups although this was not significant. These low levels in the S group which were, sometimes, even lower than those seen in the -D group contrasted with blood and bone levels of alkaline phosphatase, which were normal for the S and +D groups. There was also a discrepancy between the low values found for both phosphatase activity and calcium transfer in rats S in the experiments where the calcium transfer assay was carried out in calcium solution and those found in experiments were both calcium and carbohydrate were present. In the latter, enhanced levels of intestinal phosphatase activity were observed, as well as a marked, albeit delayed, increase in intestinal calcium transfer. Onset latency and rapid offset are reminiscent of induction of bacterial enzymes by carbohydrates.

ABSTRACT

The effect of vitamin D3-deficiency and dietary sorbitol on serum calcium level, the activity and alkaline phosphatase (AP) pattern in femoral epiphysis were studied. Rats fed a diet supplemented with sorbitol or vitamin D3 showed the same serum calcium concentration and AP activity in serum and femur. Rats fed a vitamin D3-deficient diet displayed decreased serum calcium concentration and increased AP activity both in serum and femur. Four forms of AP were isolated from the femur of these rat groups: of Mr 100,000, 110,000, 130,000 and 165,000. Rats receiving the diet supplemented with sorbitol showed a marked rise in the activity of the Mr 165,000 form, and appearance of a new monomer of 100,000, never formed in two remaining groups.

ABSTRACT

The effect of vitamin D3 on the activity of different forms of alkaline phosphatase as well as on the ability of their subunits to form phosphorylated intermediates in the presence of [gamma-32P]ATP was studied. In experiments with rats fed a diet enriched in vitamin D3 phosphatase F3 activity was doubled and the radioactivity of the phosphorylated intermediate of the F3 subunit was greatly enhanced. In contrast, in the case of phosphatase F1 the enzymic activity and the radioactivity of F1 subunit phosphorylated intermediate remained unchanged. In rats fed a vitamin D3-deficient diet, the phosphatase F3 activity was greatly reduced and there were only traces of radioactivity of F3 subunit phosphorylated intermediate.
