Figure 7Serum phosphatonin levels in normal,
hyp-,
OC-Cre-PhexΔflox/y, and
Cre-PhexΔflox/y mice.
ELISA measurements of serum FGF-23, MEPE, and sFRP-4 levels demonstrated that all 3 phosphatonins were increased in
hyp- and
Cre-PhexΔflox/y mice. However, serum FGF-23, but not MEPE or sFRP-4, was increased in
OC-Cre-PhexΔflox/y mice. **
