  1. Abbreviations: RT, retention time (minute). aArrow denoted the increase or decrease of the metabolites in low-calcium diet rat compared with those in the control rats. Type A: the biomarkers seen throughout the progression of calcium deficiency. Type B: the biomarkers appeared at the initial stage and dizappeared at the middle or late stage. Type C: the biomarkers seen at the middle or late stage. b Biomarkers confirmed using standard samples. c Biomarkers identified by tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) spectra of databases. d The possible elemental compositions of biomarkers determined based on exact mass data and MS fragmentation.
