Fig 3. Duration-of-treatment effects of exogenous vitamin D on calcemic status.

Fig 3

The duration-of-treatment effects of dietary vitamin D on blood ionised calcium, serum total calcium and serum phosphate in either control animals (open square/dotted lines) or animals fed 80, 000 IU vitamin D/kg (black circles/solid lines) at 6, 12 and 24 weeks of age are shown. Column (A) represents data derived from Sprague-Dawley rats and column (B) of C57BL/6J mice. p<0.05 for duration effects within each group is represented by different letters (n = 8; one-way ANOVA). * p<0.05 compared to relevant control at each corresponding time point (dietary effects; n = 8; one-way ANOVA). Data is shown as mean ± SEM.
