  1. Ca serum calcium, P serum phosphorous, PTH parathyroid hormone, ALP alkaline phosphatase
  2. Values are as mean ± standard deviation
  3. Group × Time is an interaction from a two-way repeated-measures analysis of the effect of time from baseline to 6 months
  4. †: P-value for within group changes
  5. *p < 0.05 significant
  6. **p < 0.01 highly significant
