Metabolism of 25-Hydroxyvitamin D3 in Anephric Rats: A New Active Metabolite

RESUMO
After the injection of radioactive 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 into rats given a normal diet, two metabolites can be detected on Sephadex LH-20 chromatography modified to reveal polar metabolites. The first is designated peak Va, which by means of periodate cleavage has been identified as 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3. The second more polar metabolite has been designated peak X1 and is only partially sensitive to periodate. This metabolite appears in serum, bone, intestine, and liver and does not chromatograph on any system like any of the previously identified metabolites. Nephrectomy, especially in the animals given large doses of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3, does not abolish production of either peak Va or X1, revealing that both metabolites can be made in extra-renal tissue. Peak X1 has marked ability to elevate serum calcium of rats on a vitamin D-deficient, low calcium diet, but requires the presence of kidneys to carry out this function.
