Abstract
Increased bone resorption and negative calcium balance are known to occur in metabolic acidosis. However, the mechanisms underlying these effects are unclear. The present studies examine the effects of lowering pH in vitro on the uptake and action of parathyroid hormone (PTH) in an isolated perfused canine tibia preparation. Both the arterio-venous difference for immunoreactive PTH (iPTH) across bone and cAMP production by isolated bone during infusion of synthetic bovine PTH·(1–34) [bPTH·(1–34)] were studied. At perfusate pH 7.4 (Krebs-Henseleit buffer with 1% bovine serum albumin gassed with 95% O2-5% CO2), basal cAMP production was 6.3 ± 1.8 pmol/min. After the addition of synthetic bPTH·(1–34) (3 ng/ml) to the perfusate, cAMP production rose to 25.9 ± 4.8 pmol/min, and the arterio-venous difference for iPTH across the perfused bone was 35 ± 2% in eight studies. In 10 additional studies after initial control periods for cAMP production (7.6 ± 1.6 pmol/min), the perfusate pH was lowered to 7.0–7.1 by ad...
