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