| Measurements | ||||
| Body weight at sacrifice (g) | 569.0 ± 17.4 | 515.69 ± 16.56a | 511.28 ± 16.85a | |
| BUN (mg/dL) | 21.56 ± 0.85 | 40.78 ± 3.01b | 40.38 ± 3.92b | |
| Creatinine (mg/dL) | 0.53 ± 0.02 | 0.81 ± 0.037b | 0.73 ± 0.036b | |
| Phosphate (mg/dL) | 6.59 ± 0.43 | 7.04 ± 0.34 | 6.56 ± 0.26 | |
| Calcium (mg/dL) | 9.21 ± 0.12 | 9.72 ± 0.21 | 9.39 ± 0.13 | |
| Urine FEP (%) | 1.89 ± 0.32 | 7.43 ± 1.74a | 9.32 ± 2.08b | |
| Urine FECa (%) | 0.89 ± 0.1c | 2.11 ± 0.4 | 0.66 ± 0.11c | |
Values represented as mean ± SEM; available urine was collected from the rats in the control (n = 6), the CKD (n = 4), and the CKD + exercise groups (n = 7). a, Compared to control group, p < 0.05; b, Compared to control group, p < 0.01; c, Compared to CKD group, p < 0.01. CKD is chronic kidney disease; BUN is blood urea nitrogen; FEP is fractional excretion of calcium.
