Note: The viabilities of the normal cells, the injured cells, and the quercetin treated cells were monitored by the MTT assay. The optimal viability was obtained by 50 µmol/L quercetin treated for 24 h. Cell viability was expressed as mean ± SEM. Compared with the control group, values marked with different letters are significant ( ).
