Phosphate overload induces L6 cells atrophy in a dose- and time-dependent manner. a Phase contrast microscopy showing cell morphology (Not every image is not shown here). b Statistics of cell diameter in each group. Data are shown as fold change compared with the control group (1 mM at 24 h and 3 mM at 0 h). *compared with 1 mM at 24 h, p < 0.05, # p < 0.05 versus 3 mM at 0 h
