Figure 3: The percentage increase of bone mineral density (BMD) in VDR-KO mice fed five isocaloric diets containing different calcium sources over 20 days. 0.5% Ca: diet in which the Ca source is the AIN-93G diet base; 2% Ca: diet in which additional CaCl2 was added to AIN-93G to achieve final Ca concentration of 2%; CaOx: diet in which additional CaC2O4 was added to AIN-93G to achieve final Ca concentration of 2%; WT and cod5: diets in which either processed WT or cod5 Medicago was added to AIN-93G to achieve final Ca concentration of 2%. n = 10 for all diet groups. The error bars represent standard error. †: P = 0.17.
