Raw and analyzed data of histological alterations and biochemical markers in rat kidney exposed to Cadmium and treated with Atorvastatin

The data set supports studies involving the protective effect of antioxidants against environmental and occupational cadmium contaminant, inducing oxidative kidney damage in rat model. Details of raw data and Tukey’s multiple comparison tests related to biochemical parameters (BUN, creatinine, GSH, MDA, SOD, and GPx) in the rat groups treated with saline, Atorvastatin (AT) and cadmium. The insights gained from these data may allow researchers to further explain the role of Atorvastatin antioxidant treatment on the cadmium chloride- induced oxidative stress in rat nephrotoxicity. These data indicate Atorvastatin improves lipid peroxidation, BUN, and Creatinine serum levels and reduces adverse histological changes in rat kidney tissues induced by cadmium chloride.
