“…For example, recent studies by our research group have shown that various flavonoids, including actein (Choi et al, 2017), 27-deoxyactein (Suh, Choi, Jung, et al, 2018) and xanthohumol (Suh, Choi, Kim, et al, 2018), inhibit TCDD-induced toxicity in MC3T3-E1 osteoblastic cells. The beneficial effects of catalpol are primarily associated with their antioxidant activities, including the scavenging of free radicals (Zhu et al, 2016). However, to the best of our knowledge, there is no study of catalpol on TCDD toxicity in cultured osteoblastic cells.…”
