Table 3 Changes in SOD activity of human lymphocytes incubated with different concentrations of Dimethoate (0, 40, 60, and 100 mM), quercetin (20 μg/ml)

From: Protective effect of quercetin against oxidative stress caused by dimethoate in human peripheral blood lymphocytes

Experimental Groups

SOD % inhibition

Control

3.33 ± 0.33

Quercetin (20 μg/ml)

3.33 ± 0.3#

Dim (40 mM)

33.33 ± 0.21*

Dim (40 mM)+ Quercetin (20 μg/ml)

15.59 ± 0.11#

Dim (60 mM)

36.66 ± 0.23*

Dim (60 mM)+ Quercetin (20 μg/ml)

24.00 ± 0.33#

Dim (100 mM)
