Quercetin attenuates nicotine-induced ovarian and uterine dysfunction in rats
Quercetin (15 mg/kg) appears to protect against nicotine-induced reproductive impairments (1 mg/kg), likely through its antioxidant properties, its capacity to stabilize hormone levels, and its modulation of ERα and Ki-67 expression. These findings support quercetin's therapeutic potential for preventing or alleviating smoking-related reproductive damage.
