“This hypothesis was confirmed by in vivo studies which demonstrated that injection of luteolin or quercetin blocked estradiol stimulation of nuclear type II sites in the immature rat uterus and this correlated with an inhibition of uterine growth (wet and dry weight).”
“Our data evidence that quercetin does not affect granulosa cell growth while it inhibits progesterone production and modifies estradiol 17β production in a dose-related manner.”

“Moreover, the inhibitory effects of estradiol were blocked by the CYP450 inhibitor 1-aminobenzotriazole (10 &mgr;mol/L) and the COMT inhibitors quercetin (10 &mgr;mol/L) and OR486 (10 &mgr;mol/L).”
“Similarly, several flavonoids (naringenin, hesperetin, kaempferol, quercetin , rutin, flavone, alpha-naphthoflavone and beta-naphthoflavone) also inhibited rat liver microsomal glucuronidation of estrone and estradiol to varying degrees.”

“The accumulation of 2- and 4-hydroxyestradiol during co-administration of estradiol and quercetin may enhance metabolic redox cycling of catecholestrogens and thus estradiol-induced kidney tumorigenesis.”

“Combined treatment of estradiol plus 3% quercetin decreased the rates of kidney catechol-O-methyltransferase-catalyzed O-methylation of 2- and 4-hydroxyestradiol by 34 and 22%, respectively, from values obtained with hormone treatment alone.”
“The coadministration of estradiol plus 0.3 or 3% quercetin for 16 days increased renal NADPH-dependent estradiol-4- but not estradiol-2-hydroxylase activities by 91 or 73%, respectively, over values obtained with hormone treatment alone.”
“The coadministration of estradiol plus 3% quercetin significantly (p < 0.05) increased the mean number of large tumor nodules and the incidence of abdominal metastases over values obtained with hormone treatment alone.”
