Quercetin Affects Erythropoiesis and Heart Mitochondrial Function in Mice

Figure 3

Erythropoietic progression in bone marrow cells is altered in quercetin-treated mice. (a) FACS plots. (a) Five erythroid populations from immature to mature (R1, R2, R3, R4, and R5) are distinguished by CD71 and TER119 expression levels in freshly isolated bone marrow through flow cytometry (CD71^med-TER119^low, CD71^high-TER119^low, CD71^high-TER119^high, CD71^med-TER119^high, and CD71^low-TER119^high). (b) Quantitative analysis of cell progression. CTR mice, (red bars); quercetin-treated mice, (green bars). Each bar represents the mean ± SD, analyzed by two-sample -test (). Significant differences () were found between control and Quercetin-treated mice. compared to control.
