Abstract
Quercetin markedly suppressed the promoting effect of teleocidin on skin tumor formation in mice initiated with 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene. This activity of quercetin may have some bearing on the fact that quercetin is not carcinogenic despite showing mutagenicity.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
