Quercetin is not the most predominant flavonoid in the diet, but it is widespread and has been widely studied in a variety of models. In 1993, some years before their recent article (1), the authors published their first article on quercetin (2) and have contributed substantially to the body of literature and understanding of this ubiquitous flavonoid.
Animal studies on the tissue distribution of quercetin are rare. Most studies have focused on the mechanism of absorption or have measured levels in plasma and/or urine. One study examined the distribution of quercetin after the administration of a single-dose stable isotope but only in a few tissues (liver, plasma, and kidneys) after a short ...
