Inhibitory Action of Quercetin on Eosinophil Activation In Vitro
Figure 1
Influence of quercetin on peripheral blood eosinophilia (a) and IgE hyper-production (b) induced by Mesocestoides corti infection in mice. BALB/c mice were injected intraperitoneally with 500 M. corti larvae. These mice were then treated with various doses of quercetin once a day for 21 days, starting on the day of infection. After 21 days, the number of peripheral blood eosinophils and IgE levels were examined. Values are means ± standard errors of the mean (SEM) for five mice/group.
