LP = low phosphorus diet; MP = medium phosphorus diet; HP = high phosphorus diet; ↑ = indicates significantly increased effect compared to MP diet; ↓ = indicates significantly decreased effect compared to MP diet; (↑) = indicates increased effect compared to MP diet; (↓) = indicates decreased effect compared to MP diet.
