observed hypophosphatemia
together with hyperglycemia in lactating
cows treated intravenously with 50% dextrose solution
and suggested that it might be attributable to an intracellular
shift in P
resulting from the action of insulin.
However, how plasma P
i
concentration is regulated by
the endocrine system in dairy cattle is not fully understood.
Therefore, further studies are necessary to elucidate
the mechanism controlling P
i
homeostasis
