Chronic low vitamin intake potentiates cisplatin-induced intestinal epithelial cell apoptosis in WNIN rats

Table 1 Plasma levels of fat and water-soluble vitamins in control and vitamin restricted rats treated with cisplatin

Group	Folate(µg/dL)	Riboflavin(µg/dL)	α -Tocopherol(µg/dL)
CON	4.85a ± 0.10	4.74a ± 0.06	74.1a ± 2.59
VR	2.08b ± 0.50	2.42b ± 0.12	46.4b ± 2.74
CON+CDDP	4.23c ± 0.11	4.05c ± 0.07	63.2c ± 2.93
VR+CDDP	1.28d ± 0.11	1.85d ± 0.03	33.1d ± 2.61

Values are mean ± SE of 6 observations; Means in a column with different superscripts are significantly different from each other (P ≤ 0.05), by one-way ANOVA, followed by post-hoc least significant difference ( LSD ) test. CON - control rats; VR - vitamin restricted rats; CON+CDDP - control rats treated with cisplatin and VR+CDDP - vitamin restricted rats treated with cisplatin.
