Mechanism of quercetin therapeutic targets for Alzheimer disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus
Abstract Quercetin has demonstrated antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, hypoglycemic, and hypolipidemic activities, suggesting therapeutic potential against type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD). In this study, potential molecular targets of quercetin were first identified using t...
