Abstract:
:The hypocalcaemic action of ethanol (3 g/kg body weight) was investigated in intact, thyroparathyroidectomized and antrectomized rats. It was found that ethanol administered either intraperitoneally or orally reduced plasma calcium concentrations within 30 min and that this response lasted for 8 h. Additional studies performed in antrectomized and thyroparathyroidectomized rats indicated that neither gastrin nor the hormones parathormone and calcitonin had any effect on the hypocalcaemic effect of ethanol. Investigation of the mechanism of action of ethanol-induced hypocalcaemia involved measurements of calcium efflux from and influx into the plasma pool. Ethanol did not have any effect on the disappearance from plasma of 45Ca administered intravenously at 0 min. In contrast, ethanol was found to enhance the disappearance of 45Ca administered intraperitoneally 17 h prior to the experiment. The interpretation of 45Ca studies was discussed and it was concluded that ethanol-induced hypocalcaemia resulted from a decrease in calcium influx into the plasma. Additional in vitro studies did not indicate the suppressive action of ethanol on the release of calcium from tibias. In conclusion, our results show that the mechanism of hypocalcaemia caused by ethanol is the suppression of calcium release from some tissue(s) into the plasma.
