Top Medical Research Studies

We observed that quercetin, a powerful antioxidant, plays a significant role in helping grapes withstand cold temperatures. In our study, we found that grapes exposed to low temperatures accumulate more quercetin, which in turn enhances their cold resistance.

By applying exogenous quercetin, we noted a marked improvement in the grapes' ability to endure low-temperature stress. Our research revealed that a key gene, VvFLS1, responsible for quercetin synthesis is upregulated when grapes experience cold conditions.

We also discovered that VvbZIP22, a protein that binds to the VvFLS1 promoter, is crucial for mediating this process. When we overexpressed VvbZIP22 in grapes, it resulted in higher levels of quercetin and improved cold resistance, further confirming its pivotal role in the plant's adaptation to harsh environments.

Through these findings, we highlighted the importance of quercetin in enhancing grape survival during cold spells, showcasing a vital link between plant biology and climate resilience.

Quercetin limits HRV1B replication
We investigated how quercetin-3-methyl ether, a natural flavonoid, impacts human rhinovirus 1B (HRV1B), which is responsible for the common cold and can worsen conditions like asthma. Our research involved testing this compound in HeLa cells to see if it could reduce viral replication and the damage associated with the virus.

In our experiments, quercetin-3-methyl ether significantly inhibited the replication of HRV1B in a concentration-dependent way, which means that higher doses produced better results. We also found that this compound enhanced early apoptosis—essentially, the process by which infected cells shut down in response to the virus—during the critical early stages of infection. This seemed to counteract HRV1B's tactics to evade the immune response.

Additionally, when we administered quercetin-3-methyl ether to mice infected with HRV1B, we observed a noteworthy reduction in viral RNA levels and inflammation in their lung tissues, suggesting a potential therapeutic effect. Our findings enhance the understanding of quercetin-3-methyl ether as a novel agent against HRV1B, pointing towards promising strategies for managing cold-related illnesses and their complications.

We explored how the combination of quercetin (QE) and sucrose (Suc) improves the preservation of porcine liver grafts affected by warm ischemia followed by cold storage. Our study involved two groups of porcine livers: one preserved with the standard University of Wisconsin (UW) solution and the other with the UW solution enhanced with QE and Suc.

After preserving the livers for six hours, we subjected them to a simulated reperfusion model using saline-diluted autologous blood. To measure success, we looked at several indicators of liver health, including specific enzyme levels and histological changes.

The results were promising! The livers treated with QE and Suc showed significantly lower levels of enzymes indicating liver damage compared to those using just the UW solution. Additionally, the histological analysis revealed fewer signs of injury in the QE and Suc group, showcasing their potential in reducing cold injury in liver grafts after ischemia.

Overall, our findings indicate that adding quercetin and sucrose to the preservation solution can effectively protect liver grafts from damage caused by cold storage, especially in cases of donation after circulatory death.

I purchase quercetin to support my body against colds and viral infections. When combined with bromelain and zinc, it effectively limits viral spread and acts as a robust defence. I appreciate that this product combines both ingredients, enhancing the positive effect. Wishing everyone health!

Quercetin is an incredibly potent anti-Covid supplement for me. I combine it with Vitamin D3, Vitamin C, and zinc, and it effectively prevents me from catching even a common cold. I’ve been using NOW products since 1968, and they remain my favourite.

Miracle remedy
It's just a godsend! I initially bought it as a cleansing drug, and while waiting for it, I read about its benefits: improving immune and lung function, blocking allergic inflammation, and combatting free radicals. It also alleviates a runny nose. After starting two capsules daily, my runny nose reduced significantly, and eventually stopped completely. It’s now a staple in my first aid kit for colds.
