Measurement	Cardiac (%)	Liver (%)	Spleen (%)	Lung (%)	Kidney (%)
Control (Z)	0.47 ± 0.03	3.15 ± 0.18^a	0.23 ± 0.03^b	0.79 ± 0.23	1.21 ± 0.07
Low calcium (D)	0.47 ± 0.01	3.19 ± 0.12^a	0.29 ± 0.01^a	0.66 ± 0.06	1.21 ± 0.02
CaCl2 (C)	0.48 ± 0.02	2.72 ± 0.46^ab	0.30 ± 0.04^a	0.62 ± 0.05	1.22 ± 0.06
SBP-Ca (T)	0.47 ± 0.02	2.54 ± 0.26^b	0.23 ± 0.01^b	0.69 ± 0.16	1.18 ± 0.16

Z: rats fed with AIN-93 diet; D: rats fed with a low calcium AIN-93 diet; C: rats fed with a low calcium AIN-93 diet and CaCl₂; T: rats fed with a low calcium AIN-93 diet and SBP-Ca. The values in columns with different superscript letters are significantly different (P < 0.05).
