Item Acute High Dietary Phosphorus Following Low-Phosphorus Diet Acclimation Does Not Enhance Intestinal Fractional Phosphorus Absorption in Nephrectomized Male Rats(Wiley, 2022-11-16) Burstad, Kendal M.; Cladis, Dennis P.; Vorland, Colby J.; Wastney, Meryl E.; Biruete, Annabel; Dominguez, James M., II; O’Neill, Kalisha D.; Chen, Neal X.; Moe, Sharon M.; Hill Gallant, Kathleen M.; Medicine, School of MedicineDietary phosphorus restriction and phosphorus binders are commonly prescribed for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, occurrences of non-adherence to these interventions are common. As low-phosphorus (LP) diets have been consistently experimentally shown in vitro to increase intestinal phosphorus absorption efficiency, a bout of non-adherence to diet or binders may cause an unintended consequence of enhanced intestinal phosphorus absorption. Thus, we aimed to determine the effect of a single bout of high-phosphorus (HP) intake after acclimation to a LP diet. Male Sprague Dawley rats with 5/6 nephrectomy (n = 36) or sham operation (n = 36) were block-randomized to 1 of 3 diets: LP (0.1% P w/w), HP (1.2%), or LP followed by acute HP (LPHP 0.1% then 1.2%). Phosphorus absorption tests were conducted using 33P radioisotope administrated by oral gavage or intravenously (iv). Although the overall two-way ANCOVA model for intestinal fractional phosphorus absorption was non-significant, exploratory comparisons showed intestinal fractional phosphorus absorption efficiency tended to be higher in rats in the LP compared with HP or LPHP groups. Rats in the HP or LPHP groups had higher plasma phosphorus compared with rats in the LP group, but the LPHP group was not different from the HP group. Gene expression of the major intestinal phosphate transporter, NaPi-2b, was lower in the jejunum of rats in the LPHP group compared with rats in the HP group but not different in the duodenum. These results demonstrate that an acute HP load after acclimation to a LP diet does not lead to enhanced intestinal fractional phosphorus absorption efficiency in 5/6 nephrectomized male rats. These data provide evidence against the notion that dietary phosphorus restriction or binder use adversely increases absorption efficiency after a single instance of dietary or binder non-adherence. However, other adverse consequences of fluctuating dietary phosphorus intake cannot be ruled out.Item Adverse effects of autoclaved diets on the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and CKD-Mineral Bone Disorder in rats(Karger, 2020) Biruete, Annabel; Srinivasan, Shruthi; O’Neill, Kalisha D.; Vorland, Colby J.; Hill Gallant, Kathleen M.; Cai, Weijing; Uribarri, Jaime; Johnston, Nancy; Allen, Matthew R.; Chen, Neal X.; Moe, Sharon M.; Medicine, School of MedicineBackground: Autoclaving rodent diets is common in laboratory animals, but autoclaving increases the formation of dietary advanced glycation end-products (AGE). We studied the effect of autoclaved (AC) diet alone or in combination with a diet high in bioavailable phosphorus on biochemistries of chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD), intestinal gene expression, and oxidative stress. Methods: Male CKD rats (Cy/+) and normal littermates were fed 1 of 3 diets: AC 0.7% phosphorus grain-based diet for 28 weeks (AC); AC diet for 17 weeks followed by non-autoclaved (Non-AC) 0.7% phosphorus casein diet until 28 weeks (AC + Casein); or Non-AC diet for 16 weeks followed by a Non-AC purified diet until 30 weeks (Non-AC + Casein). Results: AC diets contained ~3× higher AGEs and levels varied depending on the location within the autoclave. Rats fed the AC and AC + Casein diets had higher total AGEs and oxidative stress, irrespective of kidney function. Kidney function was more severely compromised in CKD rats fed AC or AC + Casein compared to Non-AC + Casein. There was a disease-by-diet interaction for plasma phosphorus, parathyroid hormone, and c-terminal fibroblast growth factor-23, driven by high values in the CKD rats fed the AC + Casein diet. Compared to Non-AC + Casein, AC and AC + Casein-fed groups had increased expression of receptor of AGEs and intestinal NADPH oxidase dual oxidase-2, independent of kidney function. Conclusions: Autoclaving rodent diets impacts the progression of CKD and CKD-MBD, highlighting the critical importance of standardizing diets in experiments.Item Diet and Diabetic Kidney Disease: Plant Versus Animal Protein(Springer, 2017-03) Moorthi, Ranjani N.; Vorland, Colby J.; Hill Gallant, Kathleen M.; Medicine, School of MedicinePURPOSE OF REVIEW: The goal of this review is to present an overview of the evidence on the effectiveness of plant-based diets in delaying progression of diabetic kidney disease (DKD). RECENT FINDINGS: The ideal quantity of dietary protein has been a controversial topic for patients with DKD. Smaller studies have focused on protein source, plant versus animal, for preventing progression. Limited evidence suggests that dietary patterns that focus on plant-based foods, those that are lower in processed foods, or those that are lower in advanced glycation end products (AGE) may be useful in prevention of DKD progression. Increasing plant-based foods, incorporating diet patterns that limit processed foods, or potentially lowering AGE contents in diets may be beneficial for dietary management of DKD. However, dietary studies specifically targeted at DKD treatment are sparse. Further, large trials powered to assess outcomes including changes in kidney function, end-stage kidney disease, and mortality are needed to provide more substantial evidence for these diets.Item Effect of dietary phosphorus intake and age on intestinal phosphorus absorption efficiency and phosphorus balance in male rats(PLOS, 2018-11-19) Vorland, Colby J.; Lachcik, Pamela J.; Aromeh, Loretta O.; Moe, Sharon M.; Chen, Neal X.; Gallant, Kathleen M. Hill; Anatomy and Cell Biology, IU School of MedicineIntestinal phosphorus absorption is an important component of whole-body phosphorus metabolism, and limiting dietary phosphorus absorption is particularly of interest as a therapeutic target in patients with chronic kidney disease to manage mineral bone disorders. Yet, mechanisms and regulation of intestinal phosphorus absorption have not been adequately studied and discrepancies in findings exist based on the absorption assessment technique used. In vitro techniques show rather consistent effects of dietary phosphorus intake level and age on intestinal sodium-dependent phosphate transport. But, the few studies that have used in vivo techniques conflict with these in vitro studies. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the effects of dietary phosphorus intake level on phosphorus absorption using the in situ ligated loop technique in three different aged rats. Male Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 72), were studied at 10-, 20-, and 30-weeks-of-age on a low (0.1%), normal (0.6%), or high (1.2%) phosphorus diet in a 3x3 factorial design (n = 8/group). Rats were fed their assigned diet for 2-weeks prior to absorption testing by jejunal ligated loop as a non-survival procedure, utilizing 33P radioisotope. Metabolic cages were used for determination of calcium and phosphorus balance over the final four days prior to sacrifice, and blood was collected at the time of sacrifice for biochemistries. Our results show that phosphorus absorption was higher in 10-week-old rats compared with 20- and 30-week-olds and this corresponded to higher gene expression of the major phosphate transporter, NaPi-2b, as well as higher whole-body phosphorus balance and net phosphorus absorption. Dietary phosphorus intake level did not affect jejunal phosphorus absorption or NaPi-2b gene expression. Our results contrast with studies utilizing in vitro techniques, but corroborate results of other rodent studies utilizing in situ or in vivo methods. Thus, there is need for additional studies that employ more physiological methods of phosphorus absorption assessment.Item Effect of ovariectomy on the progression of chronic kidney disease-mineral bone disorder (CKD-MBD) in female Cy/+ rats(Springer Nature, 2019-05-28) Vorland, Colby J.; Lachcik, Pamela J.; Swallow, Elizabeth A.; Metzger, Corinne E.; Allen, Matthew R.; Chen, Neal X.; Moe, Sharon M.; Hill Gallant, Kathleen M.; Anatomy and Cell Biology, IU School of MedicineMale Cy/+ rats have shown a relatively consistent pattern of progressive kidney disease development that displays multiple key features of late stage chronic kidney disease-mineral bone disorder (CKD-MBD), specifically the development of cortical bone porosity. However, progression of disease in female Cy/+ rats, assessed in limited studies, is more heterogeneous and to date has failed to show development of the CKD-MBD phenotype, thus limiting their use as a practical model of progressive CKD-MBD. Animal and human studies suggest that estrogen may be protective against kidney disease in addition to its established protective effect on bone. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to determine the effect of ovariectomy (OVX) on the biochemical and skeletal manifestations of CKD-MBD in Cy/+ female rats. We hypothesized that OVX would accelerate development of the biochemical and skeletal features of CKD-MBD in female Cy/+ rats, similar to those seen in male Cy/+ rats. Female Cy/+ rats underwent OVX (n = 8) or Sham (n = 8) surgery at 15 weeks of age. Blood was collected every 5 weeks post-surgery until 35 weeks of age, when the rats underwent a 4-day metabolic balance, and the tibia and final blood were collected at the time of sacrifice. OVX produced the expected changes in trabecular and cortical parameters consistent with post-menopausal disease, and negative phosphorus balance compared with Sham. However, indicators of CKD-MBD were similar between OVX and Sham (similar kidney weight, plasma blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, creatinine clearance, phosphorus, calcium, parathyroid hormone, and no cortical porosity). Contrary to our hypothesis, OVX did not produce evidence of development of the CKD-MBD phenotype in female Cy/+ rats.Item Effects of Excessive Dietary Phosphorus Intake on Bone Health(Springer Nature, 2017-10) Vorland, Colby J.; Stremke, Elizabeth R.; Moorthi, Ranjani N.; Gallant, Kathleen M. Hill; Medicine, School of MedicinePURPOSE OF REVIEW: The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of dietary phosphorus, its sources, recommended intakes, and its absorption and metabolism in health and in chronic kidney disease and to discuss recent findings in this area with a focus on the effects of inorganic phosphate additives in bone health. RECENT FINDINGS: Recent findings show that increasing dietary phosphorus through inorganic phosphate additives has detrimental effects on bone and mineral metabolism in humans and animals. There is new data supporting an educational intervention to limit phosphate additives in patients with chronic kidney disease to control serum phosphate. The average intake of phosphorus in the USA is well above the recommended dietary allowance. Inorganic phosphate additives, which are absorbed at a high rate, account for a substantial and likely underestimated portion of this excessive intake. These additives have negative effects on bone metabolism and present a prime opportunity to lower total phosphorus intake in the USA. Further evidence is needed to confirm whether lowering dietary phosphorus intake would have beneficial effects to improve fracture risk.Item From Model Organisms to Humans, the Opportunity for More Rigor in Methodologic and Statistical Analysis, Design, and Interpretation of Aging and Senescence Research(Oxford University Press, 2022) Chusyd, Daniella E.; Austad, Steven N.; Brown, Andrew W.; Chen, Xiwei; Dickinson, Stephanie L.; Ejima, Keisuke; Fluharty, David; Golzarri-Arroyo, Lilian; Holden, Richard; Jamshidi-Naeini, Yasaman; Landsittel, Doug; Lartey, Stella; Mannix, Edward; Vorland, Colby J.; Allison, David B.; Anatomy, Cell Biology and Physiology, School of MedicineThis review identifies frequent design and analysis errors in aging and senescence research and discusses best practices in study design, statistical methods, analyses, and interpretation. Recommendations are offered for how to avoid these problems. The following issues are addressed: (a) errors in randomization, (b) errors related to testing within-group instead of between-group differences, (c) failing to account for clustering, (d) failing to consider interference effects, (e) standardizing metrics of effect size, (f) maximum life-span testing, (g) testing for effects beyond the mean, (h) tests for power and sample size, (i) compression of morbidity versus survival curve squaring, and (j) other hot topics, including modeling high-dimensional data and complex relationships and assessing model assumptions and biases. We hope that bringing increased awareness of these topics to the scientific community will emphasize the importance of employing sound statistical practices in all aspects of aging and senescence research.Item Intestinal Phosphorus Absorption: Recent Findings in Translational and Clinical Research(Wolters Kluwer, 2021) Hill Gallant, Kathleen M.; Vorland, Colby J.; Medicine, School of MedicinePurpose of review: The purpose of this review is to discuss recent findings in intestinal phosphorus absorption pathways, particularly the contributions of paracellular versus transcellular absorption, and the differential findings from studies using in vitro versus in vivo techniques of assessing phosphorus absorption in experimental animal studies. Recent findings: Experimental animal studies show that in vivo effects of low phosphorus diets, 1,25D, and chronic kidney disease on intestinal phosphorus absorption efficiency contradict effects previously established ex vivo/in vitro. Recent in vivo studies also suggest that the paracellular pathway accounts for the majority of phosphorus absorption in animals across very low to high luminal phosphate concentrations. The data from experimental animal studies correspond to recent human studies showing the effectiveness of targeted inhibition of paracellular phosphate absorption. Additionally, recent human studies have demonstrated that NaPi-2b inhibition alone does not appear to be effective in lowering serum phosphate levels in patients with chronic kidney disease. Pursuit of other transcellular phosphate transporter inhibitors may still hold promise. Summary: In vivo animal and human studies have added to our understanding of intestinal phosphorus absorption pathways, regulation, and mechanisms. This is beneficial for developing effective new strategies for phosphate management in patients with chronic kidney disease.Item Kidney Disease Progression Does Not Decrease Intestinal Phosphorus Absorption in a Rat Model of Chronic Kidney Disease–Mineral Bone Disorder(Wiley, 2019) Vorland, Colby J.; Biruete, Annabel; Lachcik, Pamela J.; Srinivasan, Shruthi; Chen, Neal X.; Moe, Sharon M.; Gallant, Kathleen M. Hill; Medicine, School of MedicineThe Cy/+ rat has been characterized as a progressive model of chronic kidney disease–mineral bone disorder (CKD‐MBD). We aimed to determine the effect of kidney disease progression on intestinal phosphorus absorption and whole‐body phosphorus balance in this model. A total of 48 Cy/+ (CKD) and 48 normal littermates (NL) rats were studied at two ages: 20 weeks and 30 weeks, to model progressive kidney function decline at approximately 50% and 20% of normal kidney function. Sodium‐dependent and sodium‐independent intestinal phosphorus absorption efficiency were measured by the in situ jejunal ligated loop method using 33P radioisotope. Our results show that CKD rats had slightly higher sodium‐dependent phosphorus absorption compared to NL rats, and absorption decreased from 20 to 30 weeks. These results are in contrast to plasma 1,25OH2D, which was lower in CKD rats. Gene expression of the major intestinal phosphorus transporter, NaPi‐2b, was not different between CKD and NL rats in the jejunum but was lower in CKD rats versus NL rats in the duodenum. Jejunal ligated loop phosphorus absorption results are consistent with percent net phosphorus absorption results obtained from metabolic balance: higher net percent phosphorus absorption values in CKD rats compared with NL, and lower values in 30‐week‐olds compared with 20‐week‐olds. Phosphorus balance was negative (below zero) in CKD rats, significantly lower in 30‐week‐old rats compared with 20‐week‐old rats, and lower in CKD rats compared with NL rats at both ages. These results demonstrate no reduction in intestinal phosphorus absorption with progression of CKD despite lower 1,25OH2D status when assessed by an in situ ligated loop test, which is in contrast to the majority of in vitro studies, and if confirmed in further studies, could challenge the physiological relevance of in vitro findings.Item Phosphorus Balance in Adolescent Girls and the Effect of Supplemental Dietary Calcium(Wiley, 2018) Vorland, Colby J.; Martin, Berdine R.; Weaver, Connie M.; Peacock, Munro; Gallant, Kathleen M. Hill; Medicine, School of MedicineThere are limited data on phosphorus balance and the effect of dietary calcium supplements on phosphorus balance in adolescents. The purpose of this study was to determine phosphorus balance and the effect of increasing dietary calcium intake with a supplement on net phosphorus absorption and balance in healthy adolescent girls. This study utilized stored urine, fecal, and diet samples from a previously conducted study that focused on calcium balance. Eleven healthy girls ages 11 to 14 years participated in a randomized crossover study, which consisted of two 3-week periods of a controlled diet with low (817 ± 19.5 mg/d) or high (1418 ± 11.1 mg/d) calcium, separated by a 1-week washout period. Phosphorus intake was controlled at the same level during both placebo and calcium supplementation (1435 ± 23.5 and 1453 ± 28.0 mg/d, respectively, p = 0.611). Mean phosphorus balance was positive by about 200 mg/d and was unaffected by the calcium supplement (p = 0.826). Urinary phosphorus excretion was lower with the calcium supplement (535 ± 42 versus 649 ± 41 mg/d, p = 0.013), but fecal phosphorus and net phosphorus absorption were not significantly different between placebo and calcium supplement (553 ± 60 versus 678 ± 63 versus mg/d, p = 0.143; 876 ± 62 versus 774 ± 64 mg/d, p = 0.231, respectively). Dietary phosphorus underestimates using a nutrient database compared with the content measured chemically from meal composites by ∼40%. These results show that phosphorus balance is positive in girls during adolescent growth and that a calcium dietary supplement to near the current recommended level does not affect phosphorus balance when phosphorus intake is at 1400 mg/d, a typical US intake level.
