Popis: | Estrogens play a major role in mineral homeostasis, however it remains unclear whether they exert regulatory action upon reabsorption of phosphate (P i ) in proximal tubules of the kidney. We investigated the effect of β-estradiol (E 2 ) injected to thyroparathyrodectomized and ovarectomized rats upon Na + -cotransport of P i and other solutes across renal brush border membrane (BBM). In BBM from kidneys of E 2 -treated rats the capacity for Na + -P i cotransport was considerably suppressed (Δ% − 42; P + -cotransports of L-proline D-glucose and SO 4 across the same BBM did not differ from controls. We surmise that E 2 inhibits selectively Na + -P i cotransport by direct interaction with E 2 receptors in proximal tubular cells. These results indicate the existence of the inhibitory effect of estrogens upon renal proximal tubular Na + -P i cotransport and, by extention, proximal Pi reabsorption. We suggest that this modulatory action of E 2 plays a role in pathophysiology of mineral metabolism due to estrogen deficiency and should be considered when estrogens are used for pharmacotherapy of postmenopausal osteoporosis and some types of cancer. |
