    Notes: Summary This study presents measurements of serum vitamin D metabolites, calcium and phosphorus as well as measurements of the equilibrium dissociation constant for duodenal 1,25(OH)2D3 receptor in 15-, 18-, 19-, and 20-day chick embryos in comparison to that in 1- and 118-day-old chicks and to vitamin D-deficient chicks. The present results showed that: (a) serum 1,25(OH)2D and 24,25(OH)2D levels rise from 15 and 18 to days 19 and 20 of embryonic development while serum phosphate levels are stable; (b) serum calcium levels rise at hatching to adult levels; (c) the duodenal 1,25(OH)2D3 receptor is detectable in 15-day-old embryo and has a Kd similar to that of 118-day-old vitamin D-replete chicks; and (d) the activity of 1,25(OH)2D3 receptor in chick duodenal cytosol is maximal at hatching.

    Notes: Abstract In order to clarify the complex interrelationship between serum calcium, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25(OH)2D), and parathyroid hormone (PTH), and the urinary excretion of cyclic AMP (cAMP) in response to exogenous PTH in pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP) and related diseases, we investigated 3 patients with parathyroid disorders before and after treatment with 1α-hydroxyvitamin D3 (1α-OH-D3). Low plasma 1,25(OH)2D before treatment increased after giving 1α-OH-D3 (0.1 μg/kg/day), where-as high plasma PTH measured by the C-terminal assay (C-PTH) decreased in all 3. No response in urinary cAMP was found before or after treatment in 2 patients with PHP type I, despite the fall of plasma C-PTH. However, in one patient with extremely high plasma C-PTH but normal N-PTH (measured by a homologous radioimmunoassay using 1–34 human PTH), urinary cAMP response to exogenous PTH was increased after treatment with 1α-OH-D3. We suggest that he had pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism (PPHP) with Albright's hereditary osteodystrophy and a partial deficiency of renal 1α-hydroxylase. In this patient secondary hyperparathyroidism is thought to be due to 1,25(OH)2D deficiency, and the decreased responsiveness to exogenous PTH before treatment due to excess PTH occupying renal receptors.
