Effect of BA on ATO accumulation in liver. Arsenic deposition in the liver tissues of mice was determined using hydride generation-atomic fluorescence spectrometry. The analytical peaks obtained were quantified in terms of peak area by standard calibration. The results are rendered by the mean ± SEM (n = 3). ##p < 0.01 compared with the CON group, *p < 0.05 and **p < 0.01 compared with the ATO group. Abbreviations: CON: control group; ATO: arsenic trioxide-treated group; L-BA: low-dose baicalin group; H-BA: high-dose baicalin group; BA: baicalin alone group; SEM: standard error of the mean.
