Data presented as mean ± SD. AC, autoclaved diet; Non-AC, non-autoclaved diet; NL, normal kidney function; CKD, chronic kidney disease; BUN, blood urea nitrogen; iPTH, intact parathyroid hormone; iFGF23, intact fibroblast growth factor-23; 8OHdG, 8-Oxo-2′-deoxyguanosine; NaPi2b, sodium-dependent phosphate transporter 2b; PiT1, type III phosphate transporter 1; RAGE, receptor for advanced glycation end products; NOX2, NADPH-oxidase 2; DUOX2, dual NADPH oxidase 2. All gene expression was normalized using b-actin as housekeeping gene. Bold depicts statistical significance (p<0.05).
