Parathyroid hormone-related peptide (PTHrP) has been shown to stimulate the placental calcium pump in pregnant ewes. Recent studies also suggest a physiological role for this peptide during lactation. In the present work, we have studied the possible role of synthetic human PTHrP(1-34), (1-86) and (140-173) fragments on calcium, inorganic phosphorus and magnesium secretion into milk of four adult goats in early lactation. This was done by measuring differences in calcium, inorganic phosphorus and magnesium concentrations in the carotid artery and superficial epigastric vein, the concentration of these minerals in milk and milk production. Both PTHrP(1-34) and (1-86) fragments stimulated calcium, inorganic phosphorus and magnesium uptake by the mammary gland and secretion into milk, without any significant effect on milk production. Therefore PTHrP might have important physiological roles in the pregnant and/or lactating female, by regulating calcium transport through the placenta and mammary gland.
