Figure 4

Effects of a 4-week treatment of CdCl₂ and coadministration of quercetin on renal XO (a), XDH activity (b) and XDH/XO ratio in rats (c). Values are mean ± SEM of 𝑛=6−8 in each group. 𝑃 value CdCl₂ versus control at ⁺<0.05, ⁺⁺<0.01, and ⁺⁺⁺<0.001; treatment versus CdCl₂ at *<0.05 and **<0.01 for LSD post hoc test.
