CG: control group; VG: vehicle group; QG: quercetin group; CSG: cigarette smoke group; QCSG: quercetin and cigarette smoke group. The letter ^a represents a statistical difference between groups compared to CG. The letter ^b represents a statistical difference between groups compared to VG. The letter ^c represents a statistical difference between groups compared to QG. The letter ^d represents a statistical difference between groups compared to CSG. Data are expressed as mean ± standard deviation and statistical analyses were performed using the analysis of variance (one-way ANOVA) followed by Tukey’s post-test, n = 5–7 animals per group (p < 0.05).
