Due to their ubiquitous distribution, flavonoids from different classes are commonly present together in foods. However, little is known about the interactions between them. The flavonol quercetin and the flavan-3-ol (+)-catechin are among the most abundant flavonoids in the diet. In the present study, we have analysed the interactions between these two flavonoids on vascular function using two pure compounds and mixtures of these flavonoids in 1:0·1, 1:1 or 1:10 proportions. Quercetin induced…

Therapeutic potential of quercetin as a cardiovascular agent.
The Flavonoid Quercetin Reverses Pulmonary Hypertension in Rats
TLDR
Oral quercetin treatment is partially protective in this rat model of PAH, delayed mortality by lowering PAP, RVH and vascular remodeling and partially restored Kv currents.
Role of quercetin in vascular physiology.

TLDR
The mechanisms by which quercetin exerts its action have not been fully elucidated, and relatively few have been corroborated in human studies, which indicates the need for further investigation.
Interactions of Some Common Flavonoid Antioxidants
MECHANISM OF FLAVONOIDS ACTION IN SMOOTH MUSCLE RELAXATION
TLDR
The mechanism of action of some known flavonoids, which play role in enhancing nitric oxide and endothelium independent relaxation by blocking calcium channels and potassium channels are reviewed to help researcher to make correlation between both studies.
Catechin and quercetin attenuate adipose inflammation in fructose-fed rats and 3T3-L1 adipocytes.
TLDR
It is suggested that dietary Q and C may have potential benefits in mitigating MetS-associated adipose inflammation, oxidative stress, and insulin resistance.
The Investigation of Protective Effect of Quercetin in Rats Exposed to Oxidative Stress by 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo- p -Dioxin
TLDR
It can be suggested that quercetin has the potential for treatment against the toxicity caused by TCDD or other environmental contaminants and can decrease the risk of mortality due to cardiovascular diseases, especially in humans.
Ethyl Acetate Fraction and Isolated Phenolics Derivatives from Mandevilla moricandiana Identified by UHPLC-DAD-ESI-MSn with Pharmacological Potential for the Improvement of Obesity-Induced Endothelial Dysfunction
TLDR
Quercetin and kaempferol aglycones and their correspondent glycosides, as well as caffeoylquinic acid derivatives, A-type procyanidin trimer, ursolic and oleanolic triterpenoid acids were identified in subfractions from MMEAF and seem to be the metabolites responsible for the vascular and antioxidant activities of this fraction.

Endothelium-independent vasodilator effects of the flavonoid quercetin and its methylated metabolites in rat conductance and resistance arteries.
TLDR
Quercetin and its metabolites showed vasodilator effects with selectivity toward the resistance vessels, which are not due to or modulated by endothelial factors and are unrelated to changes in cytosolic Ca(2+).
Nitric oxide (NO) scavenging and NO protecting effects of quercetin and their biological significance in vascular smooth muscle.
TLDR
Quercetin exerts dual effects on O(2)(.) and NO, and effectively scavenged NO in the low micromolar range at physiological conditions of pH, O( 2) concentrations and NO.

Specific Dietary Polyphenols Attenuate Atherosclerosis in Apolipoprotein E–Knockout Mice by Alleviating Inflammation and Endothelial Dysfunction
TLDR
Specific dietary polyphenols, in particular quercetin and theaflavin, may attenuate atherosclerosis in ApoE−/− gene–knockout mice by alleviating inflammation, improving NO bioavailability, and inducing heme oxygenase-1.
Quercetin and isorhamnetin prevent endothelial dysfunction, superoxide production, and overexpression of p47phox induced by angiotensin II in rat aorta.
TLDR
It is shown for the first time, to the authors' knowledge, that quercetin and isorhamnetin prevent AngII-induced endothelial dysfunction by inhibiting the overexpression of p47(phox) and the subsequent increased O(2)(-) production, resulting in increased nitric oxide bioavailability.

Tissue distribution of quercetin in pigs after long-term dietary supplementation.
TLDR
Long-term dietary intake of the flavonol did not lead to a greater accumulation in any tissue compared with the single treatment, and the specific beta-glucuronidase activity was not correlated with the proportions of deconjugated flavonols in the various tissues.
