We construct a low-energy effective Lagrangian for the two-color QCD including the 'vector' bosons (mesons with J{sup P}=1{sup -} and diquark baryons with J{sup P}=1{sup +}) in addition to the pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone bosons with a degenerate mass M{sub {pi}}(mesons with J{sup P}=0{sup -} and baryons with J{sup P}=0{sup +}) based on the chiral symmetry breaking pattern of SU(2N{sub f}){yields}Sp(2N{sub f}) in the framework of the hidden local symmetry. We investigate the dependence of the vector boson masses on the baryon number density {mu}{sub B}. We show that the {mu}{sub B}-dependence signals the phase transition of U(1){sub B} breaking. We find that it gives information about mixing among vector bosons: e.g. the mass difference between '{rho}' and '{omega}' mesons is proportional to the mixing strength between the diquark baryon with J{sup P}=1{sup +} and the antibaryon. We discuss the comparison with lattice data for two-color QCD at finite density.
