Figure 4

Rats were fed a diet consisting of 2.5% protein, 1.06% phosphorus, 0.92% calcium, and 0.75% adenine for 4 weeks and given calcitriol 40 ng/kg by subcutaneous injection 3 times per week. PPi was infused daily through a peritoneal catheter in a volume of 40 ml/kg. Each point represents a single animal. *P<0.005 vs control.
