Research Abstract |
This study was aimed to evaluate the multifunctional mechanism of quercetin as a antioxidative ingredient derived from plant foods. Rodent experiments demonstrated that dietary quercetin protects the intestinal mucosa of digestive tract, blood vessel, central nervous system and muscle tissue from oxidative stress by promoting the antioxidant enzyme expression as well asdirect ROS-scavenging and suppression of oxidant enzymes. It is implied that de-conjugation reaction by macrophage participates in these multifunction of dietary quercetin.
