Figure 2

Effects of risperidone, resveratrol, and their coadministration on the kidney level of serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen in rats after two weeks. Values are expressed as mean ± SEM of seven animals. ANOVA followed by the LSD post hoc test were used. versus control; # versus RIS-treated rats; versus RIS+RSV-1-treated rats; & versus RIS+RSV-2-treated rats; and £ versus RIS+RSV-3-treated rats. Abbreviations: RIS, risperidone; RSV, resveratrol; Scr, serum creatinine; BUN, blood urea nitrogen; RIS+RSV-1, 2 mg/kg RIS+20 mg/kg RSV; RIS+RSV-2, 2 mg/kg RIS+40 mg/kg RSV; RIS+RSV-3, 2 mg/kg RIS+80 mg/kg RSV.
