Effect of CP and treatment with NaHS on weight of body and kidneys of rats, (n = 10).
| Groups | Initial weight (g) | Final weight (g) | Change (%) | Kidneys’ weight (g) | Kidneys’ weight (%) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Controls | 221.50 ± 4.80 | 227.40 ± 5.10 | 5.90 ± 0.30 | 1.82 ± 0.10 | 0.80 ± 0.02 |
| CP | 201.30 ± 6.20 | 196.30 ± 5.80 | -5.00 ± 0.50* | 1.83 ± 0.10 | 0.93 ± 0.06* |
| CP + NaHS | 216.70 ± 3.80 | 218.60 ± 3.80 | 1.90 ± 0.20*† | 1.81 ± 0.20 | 0.82 ± 0.07† |
Either Cisplatin (6 mg kg-1) or NaHS (100 µg kg-1) was given first day. Rats were weighed before any injection and in the 5th day, then sacrificed.
