✦ Synopsis


Male newts, Cynops pyrrhogaster, were injected daily intraperitoneally either with vehicle (50 Β΅l of 0.9% NaCl containing 0.1% ethanol/10 g body wt) or 1,25(OH) 2 D 3 (0.1 Β΅g/10 g body wt) for 10 days. The blood samples were collected on days 1, 3, 5, and 10 after initiation of the experiment, and plasma calcium and phosphate levels were analysed.

In 1,25(OH) 2 D 3 -injected newts there was a progressive hypercalcemia from day 1 to day 3. On day 5 and day 10 the levels were not significantly different from vehicle-injected newts. The plasma phosphate levels increased from day 3 to day 5. On day 10 the levels became almost normal.

To the best of our knowledge the present study is the first report from urodeles clearly indicating a true calcium and phosphate regulatory role of the vitamin D 3 endocrine system and 1,25(OH) 2 D 3 as a biologically active calcium and phosphate-regulating hormone in this group of vertebrates.

We evaluated in normal and hypophosphatemic (Hyp) mice whether changes in serum levels of osteocalcin in response to dietary phosphate supplementation, parathyroid hormone (PTH) and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, (1,25(OH),D,) administration were related to perturbations in calcium phosphate homeostasis.

Extracellular calcium (Cao) and the steroid hormone 1,25(OH)2D, induce the differentiation of human epidermal cells in culture. Recent studies suggest that increases in intracellular free calcium (Cai) levels may be an initial signal that triggers keratinocyte differentiation. In the present study,
