Values are (). +, ++: the DXR-injected control group versus (vs.) normal control. , : the DXR-injected groups treated with rutin and/or quercetin vs. DXR-injected control group. $, $$: the DXR-injected groups treated with rutin or quercetin alone vs. DXR-injected group treated with rutin and quercetin mixture.
