Substrate-Product Relation of 1-Hydroxylase Activity in Primary Hyperparathyroidism

Abstract: The synthesis of the active form of vitamin D, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25-(OH)2D), is thought to be relatively insensitive to the serum concentration of its precursor, 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OH-D). We compared the effect of oral administration of 25-OH-D3 (50 micrograms per day for one month) on serum concentrations of calcium, phosphate, parathyroid hormone, 25-OH-D, and 1,25-(OH)2D in five healthy adults and in six patients with primary hyperparathyroidism. In normal adults the mean (+/- S.D.) serum leve… Show more

“…It appears that a preoperative treatment with D 3 (64,65) and calcifediol (68) decreases circulating plasma PTH levels in VitD insufficient patients with PHPT, whereas D 2 appears to be less effective (66,67). The effects on bone markers and BMD are not conclusive.…”

“…When a normal amount of 25OHD is present in the blood, a large increase of this metabolite as achieved by high doses of exogenous 25OHD, is thought not to influence circulating 1,25(OH) 2 D. This has been shown in experimental animals [1,2] and in small numbers of young subjects [3,4], the explanation being that elevated levels of 25OHD increase the metabolic clearance rate of 1,25(OH) 2 D [2]. Conversely, there are several reports of a significant response of 1,25(OH) 2 D to 25OHD in normal children [5], postmenopausal women [6,7], normal aging [8], and normal adults who have undergone ultraviolet radiation [9].…”

“…In consequence, plasma 1a,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (P-1,25(OH) 2 D) is usually high normal or elevated in primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) (3)(4)(5), although low levels have also been reported depending on available plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D (P-25OHD), renal function and the degree of hypercalcaemia (3,4,(6)(7)(8).…”
