Figure 3
Quercetin inhibits the abnormal GSV intima thickening. (a) H&E staining of GSV showing the intima thickness (×200). The representative images for three groups are shown. The mRNA levels for (b) VEGF and (c) PCNA in the 3 groups of cultured GSV, which were 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).
