The role of quercetin Australia in cancer prevention is well documented. Research has indicated that quercetin reduces the growth of cancer cells by increasing chemosensitivity. Furthermore, it has been shown that quercetin inhibits the growth of cancer cells in a number of different models. This study examined the role of quercetin on the development of tumor cells by targeting certain cellular pathways. The study concluded that quercetin protects the human breast against cancer by reducing the number of tumor cells that form.
The role of quercetin in cancer prevention has been attributed to its antioxidant properties and cytotoxic activity. It is a potent free radical scavenger and exhibits anti-apoptotic effects in cancer cells. It also inhibits the cell cycle and angiogenesis. In addition, quercetin inhibits tumor growth in many cancer cell lines, supporting its anti-carcinogenic potential.
