Protective and Therapeutic Effect of Quercetin in Hepatotoxicity Induced by Sepsis in Rats

Septicemia caused by Gram-negative bacteria is an infection associated with liver dysfunction. Quercetin is a natural flavonoid found in vegetables and fruits and has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, cytoprotective and antiallergic properties. This research aims to investigate the effects of querceti...

The animals were randomly divided into 5 groups. Quercetin was dissolved in 20 mg/kg of olive oil daily for 15 days and given through oral gavage. The cecal-ligation sepsis model was applied to the group 3 and group 4. In histopathological evaluation; inflammation involving moderate neutrophils and lymphocytes was observed in most portal areas in the group where sepsis was created (Group 3). In the sepsis group administered quercetin (Group 4) only a few portal areas had a milder inflammation with fewer neutrophils than the sepsis group.
