Rats were assigned to 4 diets containing 0.2%, 0.4%, 0.6%,or 0.8% P consisting of 5 replicate cages with 6 rats per replicate cage and fed for 7 days. Four rats from each replicate cage were treated with ethane-1-hydroxy-1,1-diphosphonicacid, tetrasodium salt(EHDP)and 2 rats remained untreated. Twelve hours prior to preparation on d 7, two of the EHDP-treated rats received an intraperitoneal injection of VD3 [1,25-(OH)_2 D_3] at 600 ng per kg body weight, while two rats did not receive the injection. Rats that did not receive VD_3 injection had decreased(P < 0.001) P absorption, but injection of VD3 resulted in increased(P < 0.001) absorption. The effect of VD3 injection was greater(P < 0.001) for rats fed 0.2% P diet than rats fed 0.8% P diet in ileum. Sodium dependent phosphate cotransporter type IIb(Na/Pi-IIb) and 25-hydroxyvitamin D 1-α hydroxylase(CYP27 B1) mRNA level showed the same trend with P absorption. Serum concentration of VD3 and la-hydroxylase activity in rats fed 0.2% P diet were lower than those fed 0.8% P diet. The injection of VD3 increased(P < 0.001)serum concentration of VD3 and la-hydroxylase activity. Thus, VD3 increased Na/Pi-Ⅱb and CYP27 B1 mRNA level and improved serum concentration of VD3 and la-hydroxylase activity in rats fed low-P diets.展开更多
