title: Effects of parathyroid hormone on cyclic AMP, cyclic GMP, and efflux of calcium in isolated renal tubules.
abstract: The effects of parathyroid hormone (PTH) on concentrations of cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP were investigated in isolated renal cortical tubules from hamsters. Efflux of 45Ca from tubules was compared to temporal changes in both cyclic nucleotide concentrations. A rapid increase in cyclic AMP occurred following addition of PTH which was maximal by 1 min but decreased over the next 4 min period. Cyclic GMP concentrations were not significantly altered at 1 min but increased between 1 and 5 min from basal levels. Concentrations of both nucleotides remained significantly elevated from basal levels between 5 and 15 min following PTH. Efflux of 45Ca was increased by PTH with time-course changes closely paralleling changes in cyclic GMP concentrations. Changes in both cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP were related to PTH concentrations of the incubation media and were increased by addition of theophylline. Increasing the calcium concentration from 1 to 3 mM did not significantly alter the effect of PTH on cyclic AMP, however, cyclic GMP concentrations were further increased.
