Fig. 7From: Quercetin improves epithelial regeneration from airway basal cells of COPD patientsEffect of quercetin on the markers of different cell types and cytokines. COPD patients were treated with placebo (4 patients) or quercetin (7 patients) for 6 months. Total RNA isolated from bronchial brushings obtained before and after completion of treatment was subjected RT-qPCR using Taqman probe-based PCR assays. The data was expressed as fold increase over G3PDH and represents intra-comparison of gene expression before and after treatment with placebo or quercetin. Statistical significance was analyzed by paired Shipiro-Wilk T testBack to article page
