槲皮素是存在于许多水果和蔬菜中的多酚,因此被人类广泛食用,平均每日饮食摄入量为10-20mg/天。它也是一种流行的膳食补充剂,每天250-1000毫克。然而,尽管消费者对槲皮素有广泛的兴趣,由于其可能的化学预防特性,广泛研究的槲皮素表现出高度多样化和复杂的生物学效应。因此,本文提供了槲皮素诱导的浓度/剂量反应的第一个评估,它们的数量特征和机制基础,和他们的生物,生物医学,临床,和公共卫生影响。研究结果表明槲皮素诱导的剂量反应很普遍,独立于生物模型,细胞类型,和端点。这些发现有可能启发槲皮素的未来实验研究,特别是在研究设计参数方面,并且还可能影响对与高度多样化的消费者消费行为相关的可能的公共卫生益处和风险的评估。
Quercetin is a polyphenol present in numerous fruits and vegetables and therefore widely consumed by humans with average daily dietary intakes of 10-20 mg/day. It is also a popular dietary supplement of 250-1000 mg/day. However, despite the widespread consumer interest in quercetin, due to its possible chemopreventive properties, the extensively studied quercetin presents a highly diverse and complex array of biological effects. Consequently, the present paper provides the first assessment of quercetin-induced
hormetic concentration/dose responses, their quantitative features and mechanistic foundations, and their biological, biomedical, clinical, and public health implications. The findings indicate that quercetin-induced
hormetic dose responses are widespread, being independent of biological model, cell type, and endpoint. These findings have the potential to enlighten future experimental studies with quercetin especially with respect to study design parameters and may also affect the appraisal of possible public health benefits and risks associated with highly diverse consumer consumption practices.
