High calcium (Ca) and vitamin D (D) intakes may lead to reduced fat mass (FM) accretion. We examined the effects of high Ca and D intake on body composition, substrate oxidation (Ox) and gene expression of related liver enzymes. Male Wistar rats (n=32, 200 gms) were fed high fat (HF, 40%) or high sucrose (HS, 60%) diets with either low levels (LoDCa) of Ca (0.25%) and D (400 IU) or high levels (HiDCa) of Ca (1.5%) and D (10,000 IU) for 14 weeks. FM and lean body mass (LBM) were determined by DEXA. 14C‐palmitate and 14C‐glucose Ox were measured in liver and muscle tissue homogenates. Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxy kinase (PEPCK), fatty acid synthase, and carnitine palmitoyl transferase‐1 gene expression was assessed by real time RT PCR. There were no differences in feed intake or weight gain for HiDCa vs. LoDCa or HF vs. HS groups. FM was lower (73%, P<0.05) and LBM higher (106%, P<0.05) with HiDCa diet compared to LoDCa, regardless of HF or HS. Liver glucose Ox was decreased (P<0.05) for rats fed HiDCa only with HF diets. There was no effect of Ca or D intake on expression of liver enzymes. Gene expression of PEPCK was higher in HF diets as compared to HS diets (P<0.05). Thus, HiDCa diet reduces fat accretion and increases LBM, independent of dietary energy source. HiDCa altered substrate oxidation in liver with HF, but not with HS diets, suggesting this is not the mechanism of action of HiDCa in modulating body composition.
