The effects of acute phosphate depletion on isolated chick kidney tubule cells.
Isolated tubule cells from chick kidney respond to a short period of phosphate deprivation with increased phosphate uptake and a resistance to parathyroid hormone. During phosphate depletion a considerable amount of phosphate may be released from the cells, but intracellular inorganic phosphate levels are maintained by the hydrolysis of organic phosphate esters. It is suggested that the concomitant changes in metabolism might act as the signal causing the onset of the changes in phosphate handling associated with phosphate deprivation.
