In this study, we incubated human A549 lung cancer cells with quercetin-metabolite-enriched plasma (QMP) obtained from Mongolian gerbils 2 h after quercetin feeding (100 mg/kg body wt/week). We investigated the effects of QMP on the growth of A549 cells and the possible mechanisms for these effects.
Our previous study demonstrated that quercetin-metabolite-enriched plasma (QP) but not quercetin itself upregulates peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-γ) expression to induce G2/M arrest in A549 cells. In the present study, we incubated A549 cells with QP as well as
The leaf extract of guava (Psidium cattleianum Sabine) has traditionally been used for the treatment of diarrhea and diabetes in East Asia and other countries. Recently, the leaf extract has been employed in the therapy of cancer, bacterial infections, and inflammation in experimental models.
