Table 5

Inflammatory markers in the liver of experimental groups.

	CG	VG	QG	CSG	QCSG
CCL2 (pg/mL)				^a,b,c	^d
INF-γ (pg/mL)				^a,b,c	^d
IL-10 (pg/mL)				^a,b,c	^d
IL-6 (pg/mL)

CG: control group; VG: vehicle group; QG: quercetin group; CSG: cigarette smoke group; QCSG: quercetin and cigarette smoke group, CCL2 or MCP1: monocyte chemotactic protein 1; INF-γ: interferon-γ; IL-10: interleukin 10; IL-6: interleukin 6. ^a represents a significant difference between groups when compared to CG; ^b represents a significant difference between groups when compared to VG; ^c represents a significant difference between groups when compared to QG; ^d represents a significant difference between groups when compared to CSG. Data were expressed as and were analyzed by one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s posttest, animals per group ().
