Hepatic gene expression in C56BL/6J mice fed a quercetin diet for 20 weeks

Both the 0.05% and 1% querceitn diets did not significantly affect the body weight, fat accumulation, and blood components. However, 0.05% quercetin significantly increased the glutathione/oxidized glutathione ratio in the liver. Moreover, the 1% quercetin diet reduced the lipid peroxidation markers 8-isoprostane in plasma and malondialdehyde in the liver, epididymal adipose tissues, and small intestine.
