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