Oxidative stress occurs when there is an excess of reactive oxygen species in the body, leading to cell and tissue damage. Quercetin, a flavonoid compound found in vegetables and fruits, has been shown to have antioxidant, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory properties, with the potential to improve cognitive function and prevent neurodegenerative diseases. This review focuses on experimental studies supporting the neuroprotective effects of Quercetin in Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, and epilepsy.
Oxidative stress (OS) is a condition in which there is an excess of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the body, which can lead to cell and tissue damage. This occurs when there is an overproduction of ROS or when the body's antioxidant defense systems are overwhelmed. Quercetin (Que) is part of a group of compounds called flavonoids. It is found in high concentrations in vegetables, fruits, and other foods. Over the past decade, a growing number of studies have highlighted the therapeutic potential of flavonoids to modulate neuronal function and prevent age-related neurodegeneration. Therefore, Que has been shown to have antioxidant, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory properties, both in vitro and in vivo. Due to its antioxidant character, Que alleviates oxidative stress, thus improving cognitive function, reducing the risk of neurodegenerative diseases. On the other hand, Que can also help support the body's natural antioxidant defense systems, thus being a potentially practical supplement for managing OS. This review focuses on experimental studies supporting the neuroprotective effects of Que in Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), Huntington's disease (HD), and epilepsy.
