Rats were divided into experimental groups as follows: wild-type littermates (WT) without risedronate administration (WT-C), WT rats with risedronate administration (WT-R), type III Pi transporter-overexpressing transgenic (Pit-1 TG) rats with risedronate administration (TG-R), and Pit-1TG rats without risedronate administration (TG-C). Data are presented as mean ± SD. compared with WT-R group.
