Significant increase in MDA concentration in renal tissues in the doxorubicin group vs. the normal control group (). Significant decrease in MDA concentration in renal tissues in the crocin/doxorubicin group vs. the doxorubicin group (). §Significant decrease in SOD concentration in renal tissues in the doxorubicin group vs. the normal control group, the crocin control group, and the crocin/doxorubicin group (, 0.024, and 0.012, respectively).
