Effect of dietary NPP level on serum Ca and Phosphorus concentrations, ALP activity and related hormones of broilers. A The serum Ca, phosphorus concentrations and the activity of serum ALP at 14 days of age. B The serum FGF23, 1,25(OH)2D3 and PTH concentrations at 14 days of age. C The serum Ca, phosphorus concentrations and the activity of serum ALP at 28 days of age. D The serum FGF23, 1,25(OH)2D3 and PTH concentrations at 28 days of age. E The serum Ca, phosphorus concentrations and the activity of serum ALP at 42 days of age. F The serum FGF23, 1,25(OH)2D3 and PTH concentrations at 42 days of age. All values are expressed as means ± SD, n = 7/8 per group. Lacking the same letters (a, b, c) means differences at P ≤ 0.05. Ca, calcium; ALP, alkaline phosphatase; FGF23, Fibroblast growth factor 23; PTH, parathyroid hormone; 1,25(OH)2D3, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3; NPP, non-phytate phosphorus
