Effects of active vitamin D3 and parathyroid hormone on the serum osteocalcin in idiopathic hypoparathyroidism and pseudohypoparathyroidism.

Abstract

Serum osteocalcin was measured in patients with idiopathic hypoparathyroidism or pseudohypoparathyroidism, before or during the treatment with active vitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3 or 1 alpha OHD3). Serum osteocalcin and plasma 1,25(OH)2D were decreased in 11 patients with idiopathic hypoparathyroidism before treatment (2.8 +/- 1.27 ng/ml, P less than 0.001 and 14.3 +/- 4.27 pg/ml, P less than 0.001, respectively). In 24 patients with idiopathic hypoparathyroidism during the treatment, serum osteocalcin and plasma 1,25(OH)2D were within the normal range (4.5 +/- 0.74 ng/ml and 25.7 +/- 5.69 pg/ml, respectively). In five patients with pseudohypoparathyroidism before treatment, plasma 1,25(OH)2D was decreased (15.6 +/- 10.6 pg/ml, P less than 0.001) but serum osteocalcin was normal (7.8 +/- 1.66 ng/ml). In nine patients with pseudohypoparathyroidism during the treatment with active vitamin D3, serum osteocalcin and plasma 1,25(OH)2D were normal (6.8 +/- 1.47 ng/ml and 27.2 +/- 6.0 pg/ml, respectively). Serum PTH in pseudohypoparathyroidism was increased before treatment (0.70 +/- 0.34 ng/ml, P less than 0.05) and was normal during the treatment (0.50 +/- 0.13 ng/ml). In idiopathic hypoparathyroidism, the active vitamin D3 increased serum osteocalcin without PTH. In pseudohypoparathyroidism, PTH may increase serum osteocalcin or modulate the effect of active vitamin D3 on serum osteocalcin.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.

Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
