Plasma biochemistries over time between OVX and Sham surgery. Plasma creatinine, phosphate, and calcium were not different between the groups. BUN was statistically higher in the OVX group. Values presented are meanā±āSEM. For comparison reference range for Cy/+ male rats at 34ā35 weeks based on Moe et al. in24,32: BUN (~60ā107āmg/dL), phosphate (~6.8ā11.6āmg/dL), calcium (~8.5ā9.8āmg/dL). We have also measured plasma creatinine at 0.92ā±ā0.06āmg/dL in 30 week Cy/+ males (unpublished).
