Serum AFP and CA19.9 levels in normal rats and in rats injected with DXR (without and with the supplementation of rutin and/or quercetin).

Parameter
Group	AFP (ng/mL)	CA19.9 (U/L)
Normal control	0.46 ± 0.04	119.17 ± 2.36
DXR-injected control group	1.17 ± 0.03++	270.37 ± 36.93++
DXR-injected group supplemented with rutin	1.19 ± 0.05$$	199.9 ± 0.72∗∗$$
DXR-injected group supplemented with quercetin	0.92 ± 0.16∗$	174.8 ± 4.92∗∗$
DXR-injected group supplemented with rutin and quercetin	0.63 ± 0.05∗∗	125.3 ± 1.74∗∗
F-probability	P < 0.001	P < 0.001

Values are M ± SE (n = 6). ⁺P < 0.05, ⁺⁺P < 0.01: the DXR-injected control group vs. normal control. ^∗P < 0.05, ^∗∗P < 0.01: the DXR-injected groups treated with rutin and/or quercetin vs. DXR-injected control group. ^$P < 0.05, ^$$P < 0.01: the DXR-injected groups treated with rutin or quercetin alone vs. DXR-injected group treated with rutin and quercetin mixture.
