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

Experimental Groups

MDA mg/mg proteins

Quercetin (20 μg/ml)

2.67 ± 0.71#

Dim (40 mM)

Dim (40 mM)+ Quercetin (20 μg/ml)

2.99 ± 0.15#

Dim (60 mM)

4.51 ± 0.44*

Dim (60 mM)+ Quercetin (20 μg/ml)

3.83 ± 0.31#

  1. The values are expressed as means ± SD; n = 20; controls are lymphocytes without Dimethoate, lymphocytes incubated with quercetin (20 μg/ml). # p < 0.05, compared with treatments without quercetin (20 μg/ml), compared with controls (lymphocytes without Dimethoate).
