Calcium restriction during lactation has minimal effects on post-weaning mineral metabolism and bone recovery.

ABSTRACT: Dietary calcium (Ca) restriction during lactation in the rat, which induces intra-cortical and endocortical remodeling, has been proposed as a model to study bone matrix maturation in the adult skeleton. The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of dietary Ca restriction during lactation on post-weaning mineral metabolism and bone formation. Mated female Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized into groups receiving either 0.6% Ca (lactation/normal Ca) or 0.01% Ca (lactation/low Ca) diets during lactation. Virgin animals fed normal Ca were used as controls (virgin/normal Ca). At the time of weaning, animals on the low Ca diet were returned to normal Ca and cohorts of all three groups were sacrificed at days 0, 1, 2, 7, and 14 post-weaning. Lactation caused bone loss, particularly at the endocortical surface, but the amount was not affected by dietary Ca. Rats in the lactation/low Ca group had increased cortical porosity compared to the other groups, particularly within the size range of secondary osteons. Dietary Ca restriction during lactation did not affect post-weaning bone formation kinetics or serum Ca and phosphate levels. In both lactation groups, there was a transient increase in phosphate and fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) post-weaning, which trended toward virgin/normal Ca levels over time. Thus, the additional challenge of low dietary Ca during lactation to induce intra-cortical remodeling in the rat has minimal effects on bone formation kinetics and mineral metabolism during the post-weaning period, providing further justification for this model to study matrix maturation in the adult skeleton.

Project description:Environment and diet are two major factors affecting the human gut microbiome. In this study, we used a pig model to determine the impact of these two factors during lactation on the gut microbiome, immune system, and growth performance. We assigned 80 4-day-old pigs from 20 sows to two rearing strategies at lactation: conventional rearing on sow's milk (SR) or isolated rearing on milk replacer supplemented with solid feed starting on day 10 (IR). At weaning (day 21), SR and IR piglets were co-mingled (10 pens of 4 piglets/pen) and fed the same corn-soybean meal-dried distiller grain with solubles- and antibiotic-free diets for eight feeding phase regimes. Fecal samples were collected on day 21, 62, and 78 for next-generation sequencing of the V4 hypervariable region of the bacterial 16S rRNA gene. Results indicate that IR significantly increased swine microbial diversity and changed the microbiome structure at day 21. Such changes diminished after the two piglet groups were co-mingled and fed the same diet. Post-weaning growth performance also improved in IR piglets. Toward the end of the nursery period (NP), IR piglets had greater average daily gain (0.49 vs. 0.41 kg/d; P < 0.01) and average daily feed intake (0.61 vs. 0.59 kg/d; P < 0.01) but lower feed efficiency (0.64 vs. 0.68; P = 0.05). Consequently, IR piglets were heavier by 2.9 kg (P < 0.01) at the end of NP, and by 4.1 kg (P = 0.08) at market age compared to SR piglets. Interestingly, pigs from the two groups had similar lean tissue percentage. Random forest analysis showed that members of Leuconostoc and Lactococcus best differentiated the IR and SR piglets at weaning (day 21), were negatively correlated with levels of Foxp3 regulatory T cell populations on day 20, and positively correlated with post-weaning growth performance. Our results suggest that rearing strategies may be managed so as to accelerate early-life establishment of the swine gut microbiome to enhance growth performance in piglets.

Project description:Although caloric restriction (CR) could delay biologic aging in humans, it is unclear if this would occur at the cost of significant bone loss. We evaluated the effect of prolonged CR on bone metabolism and bone mineral density (BMD) in healthy younger adults. Two-hundred eighteen non-obese (body mass index [BMI] 25.1?±?1.7?kg/m(2) ), younger (age 37.9?±?7.2 years) adults were randomly assigned to 25% CR (CR group, n?=?143) or ad libitum (AL group, n?=?75) for 2 years. Main outcomes were BMD and markers of bone turnover. Other outcomes included body composition, bone-active hormones, nutrient intake, and physical activity. Body weight (-7.5?±?0.4 versus 0.1?±?0.5?kg), fat mass (-5.3?±?0.3 versus 0.4?±?0.4?kg), and fat-free mass (-2.2?±?0.2 versus -0.2?±?0.2?kg) decreased in the CR group compared with AL (all between group p < 0.001). Compared with AL, the CR group had greater changes in BMD at 24 months: lumbar spine (-0.013?±?0.003 versus 0.007?±?0.004?g/cm(2) ; p < 0.001), total hip (-0.017?±?0.002 versus 0.001?±?0.003?g/cm(2) ; p < 0.001), and femoral neck (-0.015?±?0.003 versus -0.005?±?0.004?g/cm(2) ; p?=?0.03). Changes in bone markers were greater at 12 months for C-telopeptide (0.098?±?0.012 versus 0.025?±?0.015??g/L; p < 0.001), tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (0.4?±?0.1 versus 0.2?±?0.1?U/L; p?=?0.004), and bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BSAP) (-1.4?±?0.4 versus -0.3?±?0.5?U/L; p?=?0.047) but not procollagen type 1 N-propeptide; at 24 months, only BSAP differed between groups (-1.5?±?0.4 versus 0.9?±?0.6?U/L; p?=?0.001). The CR group had larger increases in 25-hydroxyvitamin D, cortisol, and adiponectin and decreases in leptin and insulin compared with AL. However, parathyroid hormone and IGF-1 levels did not differ between groups. The CR group also had lower levels of physical activity. Multiple regression analyses revealed that body composition, hormones, nutrients, and physical activity changes explained ?31% of the variance in BMD and bone marker changes in the CR group. Therefore, bone loss at clinically important sites of osteoporotic fractures represents a potential limitation of prolonged CR for extending life span. Further long-term studies are needed to determine if CR-induced bone loss in healthy adults contributes to fracture risk and if bone loss can be prevented with exercise.

Project description:We reported accentuated lactational decreases in areal bone mineral density and only partial skeletal recovery after lactation in Ugandan women with HIV (WWH) initiated on tenofovir disoproxil fumarate-based antiretroviral therapy (TDF-based ART) during pregnancy compared to women without HIV (REF). WWH also had higher breast milk calcium in the first months of lactation. To investigate the mechanisms, we measured bone turnover markers (bone resorption: C-terminal telopeptide [CTX]; bone formation: procollagen type 1 N-terminal propeptide [P1NP], bone-specific and total alkaline phosphatase [BALP, TALP]), hormones (parathyroid hormone [PTH], intact fibroblast growth factor 23 [FGF23], 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D [1,25(OH)2 D]), vitamin D status (25-hydroxyvitamin D [25OHD]), and indices of mineral metabolism and renal function. Blood and urine samples collected at 36 weeks of gestation, 14 and 26 weeks of lactation, and 3-6 months after lactation were analyzed. Mean 25OHD was >50 nmol/L throughout. Both groups experienced similar biochemical changes during pregnancy and lactation to women in other settings, but within these patterns, the two groups differed significantly. Notably, WWH had higher PTH (+31%) and lower 1,25(OH)2 D (-9%) and TmP/GFR (-9%) throughout, lower P1NP (-27%) and plasma phosphate (-10%) in pregnancy, higher CTX (+15%) and BALP (+19%), and lower eGFR (-4%) during and after lactation. P1NP/CTX ratio was lower in WWH than REF in pregnancy (-21%), less so in lactation (-15%), and similar after lactation. Additionally, WWH had lower plasma calcium (-5%), lower FGF23 (-16%) and fasting urinary calcium (-34%) at one or both lactation timepoints, and higher fasting urinary phosphate (+22%) at 26 weeks of lactation and after lactation. These differences resemble reported TDF effects, especially raised PTH, increased bone resorption, decreased bone formation, and decreased renal function, and may explain the observed differences in bone mineral density and breast milk calcium. Further studies are needed to determine whether HIV and TDF-based ART have long-term consequences for maternal bone health and offspring growth. © 2023 The Authors.

Project description:Rationale & Objective:The short- and long-term impact of conversion of dialysate calcium concentration from either 2.5 or 3.0 mEq/L to 2.75 mEq/L on mineral and bone metabolism remains unknown in hemodialysis patients. Study Design:Nonrandomized intervention study. Setting & Population:12 hemodialysis patients treated at baseline with a 2.5-mEq/L dialysate calcium concentration and another 12 hemodialysis patients treated with a 3.0-mEq/L dialysate calcium concentration. Intervention:Use of 2.75-mEq/L dialysate calcium concentration. Outcomes:Changes in intradialytic calcium and phosphate clearance and changes in predialysis and intradialytic serum and ionized mineral and biochemical parameters over the 24 weeks following dialysate calcium conversion. Results:Conversion of dialysate calcium concentration from 2.5 to 2.75 mEq/L increased intradialytic calcium loading and serum total and ionized calcium levels, whereas conversion of dialysate calcium from 3.0 to 2.75 mEq/L decreased intradialytic calcium loading and serum total and ionized calcium levels. Dialysate calcium concentration conversion did not affect intradialytic serum parathyroid hormone level, intradialytic phosphate elimination, or predialysis serum calcium, phosphate, parathyroid hormone, and fibroblast growth factor 23 levels. Intradialytic calcium influx was determined by dialysate calcium concentration and predialysis serum calcium levels, whereas intradialytic phosphate elimination was determined by predialysis serum phosphate levels. Limitations:Small sample size and no control groups treated with 2.5- and 3.0-mEq/L dialysate calcium concentrations during the 24 weeks of the observation period. Conclusions:Conversion of dialysate calcium concentration from either 3.0 or 2.5 to 2.75 mEq/L results in expected changes in calcium loading based on predialysis calcium concentration. The dialysate calcium concentration should be personalized based on clinical factors. Funding:None.
