Quercetin administration reduces the pro-inflammatory cytokines expression in cirrhotic rats

The flavonoid quercetin significantly lowered serum ALT, AST and ALP activities (indicators of hepatocellular damage) and consistently caused a reduction of mRNA levels of TGF-α, TNF-α and IL-6, in treated cirrhotic animals compared with untreated CBDL rats. [...] quercetin treatment, initiated fo...

Zusammenfassung:The flavonoid quercetin significantly lowered serum ALT, AST and ALP activities (indicators of hepatocellular damage) and consistently caused a reduction of mRNA levels of TGF-α, TNF-α and IL-6, in treated cirrhotic animals compared with untreated CBDL rats. [...] quercetin treatment, initiated following the establishment of liver injury in cirrhotic animals, has a clear anti-inflammatory effect in the subsequent severity of the CBDL-related inflammation.
