Effect of the protein on UN level in GalN induced kidney damage in mice. Left and right panel show preventive and curative effect of the protein respectively. Cont: UN level in normal mice, GalN: UN level in only GalN treated mice, Protein + GalN: UN level in which the protein was given prior to GalN administration, VitE + GalN: UN level in which vitamin E was administered prior to GalN treatment, BSA + GalN: UN level in which BSA was given before GalN administration. GalN + Protein: UN level in which the protein was given after GalN administration, GalN + Vit E: UN level in which vitamin E was administered post to GalN treatment and Recovery: UN level in mice which were treated with GalN for 3 days and kept next 4 days without any treatment. Each column represents mean ± SD, n = 6. "a" indicates the significant difference between the vehicle control and toxin treated groups, "b" indicates the significant difference between the toxin treated and protein treated groups and "c" indicates the significant difference between the toxin treated and vitamin E treated groups. (P^a < 0.01, P^b < 0.01, P^c < 0.01).
