Influence of the Neuroprotective Properties of Quercetin on Regeneration and Functional Recovery of the Nervous System

Quercetin, a natural compound found in many plants, has shown promise in helping the nervous system recover from injuries. It can reduce inflammation and protect nerve cells. Studies on animals with spinal cord or nerve damage indicate that quercetin can improve movement, reduce tissue damage, and promote nerve fiber regrowth. While more research is needed in humans, these findings suggest that quercetin could be a helpful addition to treatments for nerve injuries.

• 1
  Quercetin administration in SCI animal models reduced histopathological damage, inflammatory cytokine synthesis, and cellular oxidative stress.
• 2
  In sciatic nerve injuries, quercetin favored and accelerated sensory and motor recovery, reducing muscle atrophy.
• 3
  Quercetin treatment promoted a significant improvement in functional recovery and electrophysiological capacity of SCI rats.
