The effect of QUE on tendon collagen density. The collagen tissues show blue in the section with Masson’s trichrome staining under the light microscope (200×). QUE could reduce collagen synthesis and fibrosis. The density of collagen tissue in 100 mg/kg quercetin-treated group seemed to be lower than those in 50 mg/kg quercetin-treated group and control group. Low QUE, 50 mg/kg/day; High QUE, 100 mg/kg/day
