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