Data as mean ± SD. Statistical comparisons were conducted as t-test (between NL and CKD), or ANOVA (between NL, CKD, CKD+Calcium, and CKD+Zoledronic Acid; and then between NL, CKD, CKD+Calcium, CKD+Scl AB, and CKD+Scl AB+Calcium). Statistically different (p < 0.05) values between CKD and NL are given in the t-test p values while differences in the ANOVA are noted relative to NL (a) and CKD (b).
