Effect of the protein on TBARS formation in GalN induced kidney damage in mice. Left and right panel show preventive and curative effect of the protein respectively. Cont: MDA content in normal mice, GalN: MDA content in only GalN treated mice, Protein + GalN: MDA level in which the protein was given prior to GalN administration, VitE + GalN: MDA level in which vitamin E was administered prior to GalN treatment, BSA + GalN: MDA level in which BSA was given before GalN administration. GalN + Protein: MDA content in which the protein was given after GalN administration, GalN + Vit E: MDA level in which vitamin E was administered post to GalN treatment and Recovery: MDA content 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).
