Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The effects of estrogen on phosphate metabolism are not well understood. To better define the chronic effects of estrogen on phosphate balance and on renal phosphate handling, the following groups were examined: A. young male and female rats, age- and weight-matched (age 8-10 weeks, 1 (st) study), and B. ovariectomized female rats (OVX), 22 weeks old, ovariectomized aged-matched rats receiving estrogen replacement (15 micromol x 3/week) for 14 weeks (OVX+E), control female rats (intact ovaries), and male rats, both age matched to OVX and OVX+E (2 (nd) Study). In younger females (1 (st) study), plasma phosphate was lower, whereas the urinary excretion of phosphate was higher than in males. In adult intact females and in OVX+E urinary excretion of phosphate was higher than in males and OVX (2 (nd) Study). In these rats, a significant correlation between plasma phosphate and estrogen level was found. Sodium-dependent phosphate cotransporter (NaPiIIa) mRNA expression and protein abundance were higher in the renal cortex of younger male rats than in age- and weight-matched females. In adult rats, NaPiIIa mRNA and protein abundance were higher in OVX than in OVX+E, and in mature males as compared with age-matched females. These differences were not related to the parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels. Chronic estrogen administration was also associated with increased plasma calcium level and urinary calcium excretion. These results suggest that chronic estrogen treatment is associated with an inhibitory, PTH-independent effect on the expression of NaPiIIa in the kidney, leading to sex-related differences in phosphate balance.
