Quercetin Protects against Cadmium-Induced Renal Uric Acid Transport System Alteration and Lipid Metabolism Disorder in Rats

Figure 7

Effects of a 4-week treatment of CdCl₂ and coadministration of quercetin on expression of RST (a), OAT1 (b), MRP4 (c), and ABCG2 (d) at protein levels in renal cortex of rats. The protein levels were normalized by GAPDH. Values are mean ± SEM of 𝑛=4-6 in each group. 𝑃 value CdCl₂ versus control at ⁺<0.05, ⁺⁺<0.01, ⁺⁺⁺<0.001; treatment versus CdCl₂ at *<0.05, and **<0.01 for LSD post hoc test.
