mRNA expression status in different experimental groups. a Bcl-2, b Caspase-9, c KIM-1, d NGAL (e) catalase, f GPx, and g Cu-Zn SOD mRNA expressions were measured by real-time PCR in the Control without any treatment, sham treated with normal saline (solvent of the Monosodium Glutamate and L-carnitine), L-ca 200 received the L-carnitine 200 mg/kg b.w, MSG treated with 3 g/kg b. w. day, MSG-LC100 received 3 g/kg MSG and 100 mg/kg L-carnitine b.w.day, MSG-LC200 received 3 g/kg MSG and 200 mg/kg L-carnitine b.w. day for 6 months. Data are presented as Mean ± SEM. There were no significant differences between the columns containing at least one similar letter. However, different letters reveal a significant difference (p < 0.05)
