“ Quercetin exerted a vasodilatory effect on rings with an intact endothelium but not on endothelium-deprived rings, and also inhibited vascular contractility induced by angiotensin II or phenylephrine in rat aortic rings.”
“ Quercetin inhibited the phenylephrine (PE)-induced expression of MLCK and p-MLC through the LKB1-AMPK signaling pathway and decreased the mRNA level of MLCK.”
“ Quercetin (5, 10 and 20µM) also caused a decrease (2-, 4- and 6-fold respectively) of phenylephrine sensitivity, while 10µM of quercetin-3-glucuronide and 4'O-methyl-quercetin decreased this sensitivity (1.5- and 2-fold) only slightly (n=6).”

“ Quercetin at a concentration > 1 x 10(-5) M, and resveratrol at > 3 x 10(-5) M, caused relaxation of the phenylephrine ( PE ) precontracted endothelium-intact aorta, and L-NNA, at 1 x 10(-6) M, reversed the relaxation.”
