Differences in urine IP and Ca levels at each week. Sham rats and three different treated (normal, lanthanum carbonate, and cerium oxide) 5/6Nx rats fed soy protein or casein were used (Sham-s, n = 6; 5/6Nx-s–n, n = 6; 5/6Nx-s-La, n = 6; 5/6Nx-s-Ce, n = 6; Sham-c, c = 6; 5/6Nx-c-n, n = 6; 5/6Nx-c-La, n = 6; 5/6Nx-c-Ce, n = 6). The data are shown as means ± SD and were analyzed using the Tukey–Kramer method. *p < 0.05 and **p < 0.01 compared to food-matched sham rats (Sham-s or Sham-c). †p < 0.05 and ††p < 0.01 compared to food-matched normal 5/6Nx rats (5/6Nx-s–n or 5/6Nx-c-n). ‡p < 0.05 and ‡‡p < 0.01 compared to food-matched lanthanum carbonate-treated 5/6Nx rats (5/6Nx-s-La or 5/6Nx-c-La)
