Abstract
Previous studies indicate that the hamster fasted for 16 h fails to demonstrate a significant phosphaturic response to parathyroid hormone (PTH). However, when hamsters were infused with ammonium chloride, a phosphaturic response to PTH was observed. The present studies evaluate the respective roles of acidemia and the ammonium ion in this response. As in previous studies, fasted thyroparathyroidectomized (TPTX) hamsters infused with PTH showed no significant increase in the fractional excretion of phosphate (FE rho), from 19 +/- 2 to 22 +/- 1%. Neither respiratory acidosis (hypercapnia) nor metabolic acidosis (HCl infusion) enhanced the phosphaturic effect of PTH, FE rho 21 +/- 4 to 20 +/- 6 and 15 +/- 2 to 16 +/- 3%, respectively. Both ammonium chloride and ammonium bicarbonate infusions enhanced the phosphaturic response; FE rho increased from 15 +/- 5 to 27 +/- 5% (P < 0.02) and 17 +/- 3 to 25 +/- 3% (P < 0.05), respectively. We conclude that the enhancement of the phosphaturic effect of PTH in the fasted hamster by ammonium chloride infusions can be dissociated from acidemia.
