Body weight is the mean +/− SEM of the final weight of mice within a given group after 25 weeks of NTCU or control.
Serum 25D3 and calcium values are the mean +/− SEM collected throughout the course of the experiment (4- 30 weeks).
Serum 1,25D3 values are the mean +/− SEM collected at 8, 24 & 30 weeks.
Reflects serum collected ~1 hour post calcitriol (1,25D3) treatments.
