Ca homeostasis was studied in freely fed control, streptozotocin diabetic, long-term and short-term insulin-treated diabetic rats 7 wk after the induction of diabetes. In contrast to the short-term (5-12 day) diabetic rat model, intestinal absorption of Ca was markedly enhanced in chronically insulin-deficient animals. Moreover, conventional balance studies showed that these animals were in positive Ca balance despite severe hypercalciuria. Intestinal hyperabsorption of Ca in long-standing diabetic rats occurred despite low levels of circulating 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D and hypercorticosteronism and was attended by hypercalcemia and suppression of both plasma parathyroid hormone (PTH) and urinary cAMP. Long-term insulin replacement completely normalized the intestinal hyperabsorption of Ca, corrected the plasma Ca, and significantly increased circulating PTH and urinary cAMP excretion. Insulin therapy also corrected the decreased plasma 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D observed in untreated diabetic animals. Intestinal hyperabsorption of Ca appeared to be only partially corrected by short-term insulin therapy. The accumulated results reveal decided differences in Ca homeostasis and hormonal response between the rats with long-standing diabetes and those with diabetes of short duration.
