Alteration of circadian regulatory gene expression by hypophosphatemia has systemic effects on other peripheral issues and on systemic regulation of mineral metabolism. (AE) mRNA expression of central circadian clock genes in cardiac tissue isolated over a 24 hour period 12 days after the mice were placed on a hypophosphatemic diet. Tissues were harvested every three hours from mice in both groups (n = 3, in each group by time points). Error bars represent ±1 standard error of the mean of the 2–3 repeat analyses performed on six samples per group. #Indicates peak time point (Dunnett’s p > 0.05, versus lowest value across all time poitns) in each dietary group, denoted by color. *Significant diet effect in two-way ANOVA (p < 0.05). (FH) Effect of hypophosphatemia on serum diurnal phosphate levels and the expression of the two known systemic regulators of phosphate mineral metabolism. #Dunnett’s test p-value < 0.05.
