| Treatment | Creatinine (mg/dL) | Urea (mg/dL) | Bilirubin (mg/dL) |
|---|---|---|---|
| CTRL | 0.98 ± 0.13 | 51.36 ± 0.23 | 0.36 ± 0.01 |
| MPLN | 2.14 ± 0.11 (188%)* | 103.9 ± 0.19 (102.3%)* | 0.80 ± 0.02 (122.2%)* |
| MPLN + QCT-P | 1.76 ± 0.09∗† | 76.9 ± 0.64∗† | 0.55 ± 0.02∗† |
| MPLN + QCT-C | 1.52 ± 0.08∗† | 95.8 ± 0.84∗† | 0.51 ± 0.01∗† |
| QCT-A | 1.38 ± 0.08∗† | 74.2 ± 1.30∗† | 0.46 ± 0.01∗† |
Data represent the means ± SD for five rats in each group; *significantly different from the CTRL; †significantly different from MPLN. Values in parenthesis represent percentage (%) increase.
