Effect of exogenous FGF21 on the renal calcium level in VDN-induced VC rats (n = 6–8; a); effect of exogenous FGF21 on renal activity in VDN-induced VC rats (n = 6–8; b); effect of exogenous FGF21 on serum level of calcium in VDN-induced VC rats (n = 8; c); effect of exogenous FGF21 on serum level of phosphate in VDN-induced VC rats (n = 8; d); effect of exogenous FGF21 in aortas of VDN-induced VC rats by Alizarin-red S staining (original magnification ×200; d). *P < 0.01 compared with the normal control group. †P < 0.05 compared with the VDN group. ‡P < 0.01 compared with the VDN group. FGF21: Fibroblast growth factor 21; VC: Vascular calcification; VDN: Vitamin D3 plus nicotine; ALP: Alkaline phosphatase.
