| Groups | Percentage of tubules | |||
| Normal | Detached | Sloughed | Vacuolated | |
| Control | 94.5 ±4.9 | 1.3±0.5 | 1.1±0.2 | 4.6±0.5 |
| Cur | 95.7±4.3 | 1.1±0.2 | 0.7 ± 0.08 | 2.5±0.3 |
| NTiO2 | 45.3±3.6** | 23.7±3.1** | 18.9±2.3** | 42.3±3.1** |
| Cur+NTiO2 | 77.6±5.6*† | 9.4±2.6*† | 8.6±1.4*† | 13.1±2.7*† |
| Values are expressed as mean ± SD for 8 mice. *p<0.05, **p<0.01, †p<0.01; * and † symbols respectively indicate comparison to control and NTiO2-intoxicated groups. |
