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

Table 2

Effects of a 4-week treatment of cadmium chloride (CdCl₂) and coadministration of quercetin on body weight (g) in rats. (Values are mean ± SEM from eight rats in each group).

Group	Body weight (g)
Normal control	352.4±11.9
3 mg/kg CdCl2	323.0±18.5^+
3 mg/kg CdCl2 + 50 mg/kg quercetin	309.8±9.3^+++
3 mg/kg CdCl2 + 100 mg/kg quercetin	309.7±9.3^+++
6 mg/kg CdCl2	305.4±18.5^+++
6 mg/kg CdCl2 + 50 mg/kg quercetin	309.3±14.1^+++
6 mg/kg CdCl2 + 100 mg/kg quercetin	310.1±7.6^+++

P value CdCl₂ versus control at ⁺<0.05 and ⁺⁺⁺<0.001.
