Glutathione mediates the antioxidant effects of quercetin in human aortic endothelial cells.
Quercetin affects cellular levels of GSH and GSSG, resulting in an increased redox ratio.
Quercetin forms conjugates with GSH, which are rapidly excreted from the cells.
Quercetin induces glutamate-cysteine ligase and multidrug resistance protein 1 via Nrf2 activation.
