Effect of lacidipine on the level of SOD (IU/ml) in RBCs lysate

Substance	Control	GM-induced nephrotoxicity without lacidipine	GM + lacidipine
	33.54 ± 0.13	11.89 ± 2.66*	99.33 ± 2.25**

Notes: The results are expressed as means ± standard deviation (n = 12 in each group). The lacidipine-treated group significantly (P < 0.05) increased SOD level, while there is significant (P < 0.05) reduction in its level in the untreated, GM-alone group.

^*P < 0.05 significant decrease in SOD level compared to the control group.

^**P < 0.05 significant increase in SOD level compared to untreated, GM-alone group.
