Herbal medicines regulated NGAL and KIM-1 biomarkers. Pretreatment with NAC 10 mM for 1 h and stimulated with cisplatin (10 μM) for 24 h (a). Cytotoxicity was measured by MTT assay treatment with herbal medicine and cisplatin for 24 h (b). NGAL and KIM-1 were measured by ELISA (c and d).

The statistical significance (*p < 0.05) of the observed differences between cisplatin treated and cisplatin + NAC groups were statistically tested by t-test
