Mitochondrial dysfunction leads to deconjugation of quercetin glucuronides in inflammatory macrophages.

Mitochondrial dysfunction leads to deconjugation of quercetin glucuronides in inflammatory macrophages.

Dietary flavonoids, such as quercetin, have long been recognized to protect blood vessels from atherogenic inflammation by yet unknown mechanisms. We have previously discovered the specific localization of quercetin-3-O-glucuronide (Q3GA), a phase II metabolite of quercetin, in macrophage cells in t...
