ABSTRACT
Epidemiological studies point to a crucial role for quercetin in the prevention of cardiovascular disease. There is an inverse relationship between dietary flavonoids, particularly quercetin, and the risk of cardiovascular disease (Hertog et al., 1993). This protective effect is attributed to quercetin’s antioxidant capacity and its inhibition of LDL oxidation
