1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D(3) (1,25(OH)(2)D(3)) concentrations have been found to be decreased in diabetic humans and rats. To investigate further the regulation of plasma Ca in diabetes, first we measured Ca(2+), P, Mg, parathyroid hormone(1-34) (PTH), and total and free 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) in male spontaneously diabetic rats 7 and 28 days after the onset of glycosuria. Secondly, we studied changes i...
