Values represent mean ± SEM from three independent experiments, mice per group. Significant difference at and significant difference at : the cisplatin group versus the control group. Significant difference at and significant difference at : the LEM + cisplatin and quercetin + cisplatin groups versus the cisplatin group. Organ index (%) = (organ weight/body weight) × 100; LEM: Lycium europaeum methanol extract; BW: body weight.
