Summary

Researchers found that quercetin, a plant-derived flavonoid, protects chicken mesenchymal stem cells from the plasticizer DEHP by modulating the ROS/Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, suggesting a dietary antioxidant mechanism that could counteract phthalate-induced tissue damage.

Body Systems

Di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP), a ubiquitous plasticizer, induces systemic organ damage primarily via oxidative stress. Quercetin (Que), a flavonoid abundant in vegetables, possesses anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, and antioxidant properties. Whether Que protects avian gizzard tissue again...
