The blood creatinine, urea, and ALT levels were analyzed at 18 hrs in mice treated with LPS (2 mg/kg) and at 24 hrs in mice subjected to CLP. The results are presented as . One-way ANOVA was done followed by Bonferroni post hoc test. a against the 5/6 nephrectomy group with mentioned treatment. b against the respective PBS or sham group.
