Effect of the protein on levels of total thiols in GalN induced kidney damage in mice. Left and right panel show preventive and curative effect of the protein respectively. Cont: total thiol level in normal mice, GalN: total thiol level in only GalN treated mice, Protein + GalN: total thiol level in which the protein was given prior to GalN administration, VitE + GalN: total thiol level in which vitamin E was administered prior to GalN treatment, BSA + GalN: total thiol level in which BSA was given before GalN administration. GalN + Protein: total thiol level in which the protein was given after GalN administration, GalN + Vit E: total thiol level in which vitamin E was administered post to GalN treatment and Recovery: total thiol 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. (Pa < 0.01, Pb < 0.01, Pc < 0.01).
