Human parathyroid hormone (1-34) increases urinary excretion of lysosomal enzymes in rats.
1999
Abstract The kidney is the major target of parathyroid hormone (PTH), and PTH influences the urinary excretion of calcium, phosphate and hydrogen ions. It was previously reported that the urinary excretion of N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase (NAG), a lysosomal enzyme, transiently increases after human PTH (hPTH) (1–34) infusion in normal subjects and idiopathic hypoparathyroidism patients, but not in pseudohypoparathyroidism type I patients. Here we report that intravenous infusion of hPTH(1–34) to rats transiently increased the urinary excretion of various lysosomal enzymes, such as β-glucuronidase and acid phosphatase as well as NAG. However, it did not affect the urinary excretion of tubular brush border membrane enzymes, i.e. alkaline phosphatase, leucine aminopeptidase and λ-glutamyl transpeptidase. Human PTH(1–34) dose-dependently increased the urinary excretion of NAG in rats with a peak at 30 min, which returned to a baseline within 60 min. The increase in the urinary NAG excretion caused by hPTH(1–34) positively correlated with the increase in the urinary cAMP excretion (r = 0.844, p
