Metal uptake by J774 cells in the absence and presence of nutraceuticals.

	ng Metal/105 Cells
Cobalt	994.12 ± 40.28
Cobalt + Genistein	1215.31 ± 119.82
Cobalt + Curcumin	824.00 ± 68.82
Cobalt + Quercetin	3726.60 ± 143.48 *
Uranium	0.69 ± 0.13
Uranium + Genistein	11.45 ± 3.19 *
Uranium + Curcumin	14.59 ± 1.50 *
Uranium + Quercetin	0.84 ± 0.11

Data are the mean of three independent experiments with three replicates per experiment and metal content normalized to 10⁵ cells. Errors are standard deviations. An * denotes a result statistically different from the metal-alone control as determined by unpaired t-test with significance at p < 0.05.
