Mean plasma calcium and phosphate concentrations and area under the curve from 0 to 240 min for the increment in plasma calcium and phosphate after single and repeated administration of CaP. N = 9; data are expressed as means, areas under the curve are expressed as mean ± standard deviation;▲ significant differences to 0 min after CaP supplementation (p ≤ 0.05); ○ placebo; ● CaP supplementation;∆ significant differences to 0 min after placebo administration (p ≤ 0.05); * significant differences between CaP and placebo administration (p ≤ 0.05); the effects of time and of supplementation were tested with paired Student’s t-test; CaP: pentacalcium hydroxy-triphosphate; AUC: area under the curve.
