Higher urinary excretion of Ca2+ and elevated levels of both forms of FGF23 in Tg6 mice. (A,B) Plasma and urine concentrations of phosphate (Pi) and total calcium (Ca2+) in 6–8 weeks old female Tg6 mice and their littermates. (C) Plasma intact FGF23, (D) plasma C-terminal fragment of FGF23, (E), plasma 1,25 (OH)2 vitamin D3, and (F) plasma parathyroid hormone (PTH). (G) Renal α-klotho protein expression was detected by immunoblotting in kidney extracts of Tg6 mice and their controls. Membranes were reblotted for β-actin. The β-actin to α-klotho ratio is shown as a graph. Data are means ± s.e.m.; n = 5–10 for each group of mice. Significance was determined by unpaired t test and indicated as *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01.
