Abstract
Goldfish that were fed as well as not fed for 2 weeks had similar plasma total calcium levels, and vitamin D3 injections during the last 6 days had no significant effect on this parameter. When fish were fed for 1 day after 13 days of food deprivation, plasma calcium increased significantly and this increase was augmented by vitamin D3 injections. This latter group also showed a chlorpromazine-sensitive increase in 45calcium absorption from perfused everted gut sacs when compared with the controls. It was concluded that vitamin D3 stimulates intestinal calcium absorption in the goldfish.
