Biochemical values in control and uremic rats fed a 23% protein and 1.06% phosphorus diet

		Adenine-Fed Rats
	Control Rats (n = 6)	Noncalcified (n = 5)	Calcified (n = 6)
Aortic calcium, nmol/mg	20.8 ± 2.2	24.9 ± 2.7	2453 ± 746*
Plasma BUN, mg/dl	14.4 ± 3.3	58.7 ± 10.6†	65.4 ± 8.6†
Plasma phosphorus, mM	0.82 ± 0.21	2.64 ± 0.75†	2.57 ± 0.63†
Plasma calcium, mM	1.87 ± 0.56	1.80 ± 0.25	1.78 ± 0.17

Values are means ± SE.

BUN, blood urea nitrogen.

^*P < 0.002 vs. noncalcified or control.

^†P < 0.0001 vs. control.
