Antioxidant Effects of Quercetin and Catechin Encapsulated into PLGA Nanoparticles

<table>Inhibition of NBT reduction of free quercetin, free catechin, quercetin-loaded PLGA nanoparticles, and catechin-loaded PLGA nanoparticles at three different concentrations (7, 21, and 35 <i>μ</i>M). All results are expressed as mean ± SE of three repetitions with at least two replicates. <svg height="7.4875002" id="M40" style="vertical-align:-0.0pt" version="1.1" viewbox="0 0 16.475 7.4875002" width="16.475" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
