Paeonol, a Major Compound of Moutan Cortex, Attenuates Cisplatin-Induced Nephrotoxicity in Mice

Figure 2

Effects of paeonol on kidney and liver dysfunction. Each group of mice was administered paeonol (20 mg/kg body wt) or saline via a single intraperitoneal injection for three days. At day 4, blood samples were obtained from mice to check the toxicity of paeonol. Serum creatinine (a), BUN (b), alanine aminotransferase (c), and aspartate aminotransferase (d) were measured. Values shown are the mean ± S.E.M. Data were analyzed by a Student’s -test ( ).
