COVID-19

"Quercetin has a theoretical, but significant, capability to interfere with SARS-CoV-2 replication, with the results showing this to be the fifth best compound out of 18 candidates." (Derosa et al., 2020)

Gq/11

NOTES: Quercetin is a selective blocker of the Glucose type 2 transporter (GLUT2) (Rogers et al., 2020; Kwon et al., 2017). GLUT2 is an essential feature of the astrocyte glucosensor mechanism... "GLUT2 binds directly with the recombinant Gq protein subunit that activates phospholipase C (PLC)" (Rogers et al., 2020).

"Coimmunoprecipitation assays reveal that the recombinant GLUT2 binds directly with the recombinant Gq protein subunit that activates phospholipase C (PLC). Additional calcium imaging studies suggest that GLUT2 may be connected to a PLC-endoplasmic reticular-calcium release mechanism, which is amplified by calcium-induced calcium release (CICR)."

"Several reports have shown that quercetin possesses anti-thyroid and goitrogenic effects [8,9,10,11]. Indeed, quercetin inhibits iodide organification through a thiourea-like action inhibiting thyroid peroxidase (TPO) enzyme activity and interferes with thyroid hormone metabolism, particularly through the inhibition of type I 5′-deiodinase activity [8]. Besides this, quercetin down-regulates the expression of the thyroid-specific genes sodium/iodide symporter (NIS), thyrotropin receptor (TSHR), TPO, and thyroglobulin (TG) in the FRTL-5 rat thyroid cells in continuous culture [10,11]."

"In conclusion, it appears that dietary QUE can rescue from Cd-induced hematological dysfunctions and testicular damage by reversing the hypothyroid state."

Quercetin decreases the expression of the thyrotropin receptor.
