Figure 4A. Effect of cisplatin on NEFA levels in serum, urine and kidney tissue. Mice were administered saline (control) or cisplatin (20 mg/kg body weight) by a single intraperitoneal injection. NEFA levels were measured at day1, day2, day3 after cisplatin injection in serum, urine, and kidney tissue homogenates as described in Methods. Bars correspond to means ± SE of at least 6 independent experiments under each condition. *p < 0.05, compared with control by unpaired student’s t-test.
Figure 4B Effect of cisplatin and fibrate (WY) on NEFA levels. Wild-type mice were fed with either a regular or WY-containing diet and then were given saline (control and WY groups) or cisplatin (cisplatin and cisplatin + WY groups). NEFA levels were measured at day 3 after cisplatin injection in serum, urine, and kidney tissue homogenates as described in Methods Results are expressed as the means ± SE. †P < 0.05 compared to cisplatin, *P < 0.05, compared with control by unpaired Student’s t-test.
