Ameliorating Effect Of Quercetin On Ethanol-Induced Liver Injury Via Targeting RISC Machinery

Background: Over the past few decades, increased alcohol consumption has had deleterious effects on human health. Alcoholic fatty liver disease (AFLD) is becoming a major global challenge, as the currently approved drugs for AFLDs are subject to several side effects. This has broadened the scope of the use of natural compounds as therapeutics. Recent advances in nutraceuticals as therapeutics have shed light on flavonoids such as Quercetin. It is a natural antioxidant of multiple dietary origins and has been extensively studied for its beneficial role as an anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer agent.
