Table 2. Biochemical parameters measurements in normal (control) rats, in rats maintained 60 days on vitamin D free diet (VDD), in rats on normal diet treated for additional 30 days with tenofovir (TDF) and in rats on vitamin D free diet for 60 days, to which tenofovir was added on day 30 and continued throughout (VDD+TDF).
