Quercetin Relieves the Excised Great Saphenous Vein Oxidative Damage and Inflammatory Reaction

Figure 2

Quercetin pretreatment suppresses the inflammatory responses induced by mechanical damage. (a) The mRNA levels for IL-6 in the 3 groups of cultured GSV, pretreated by quercetin for 24 h. (b) The mRNA levels for TNFα in the 3 groups of cultured GSV, which were pretreated by quercetin for 24 h. (c) The mRNA levels for CCL20 in the 3 groups of cultured GSV, pretreated by quercetin for 24 h. Statistical significance compared with H₂O₂ GSV vs. Con GSV is shown by an asterisk (, ) and with H₂O₂ GSV vs. H₂O₂ + quercetin GSV is shown by a trilateral (, ). Mean ± SD shown (n = 6).
