Antioxidative and prooxidative effects of quercetin on A549 cells
Abstract
Quercetin, a common plant polyphenol, has been reported to show both antioxidant and prooxidant properties. We studied the effects of quercetin on A549 cells in in vitro culture. We found that low concentrations of the flavonoid stimulated cell proliferation and increased total antioxidant capacity (TAC) of the cells; while higher concentrations of the flavonoid decreased cell survival and viability, thiol content, TAC and activities of superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione S-transferase. Quercetin decreased production of reactive oxygen species in the cells but produced peroxides in the medium. The cellular effects of quercetin are therefore complex and include both antioxidant effects and induction of oxidative stress due to formation of reactive oxygen species in the extracellular medium.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
