ABSTRACT
Quercetin is a flavonoid present in several fruits and vegetables. Quercetin is widely used in traditional and herbal medicine due to its numerous therapeutic characteristics, including anti- inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-diabetic, antihypertensive, vasodilator, anti-obesity, anti- hypercholesterolemic, and anti-atherosclerotic capabilities. Quercetin can help reduce inflammation and oxidative stress in the body, which can be beneficial for disorders like diabetes and other inflammatory ailments. Quercetin's antioxidant qualities help to manage blood sugar levels by lowering inflammation and oxidative stress in the body. However, further research is needed to properly understand quercetin's impact in these circumstances. Thus, the purpose of this review is to investigate the impacts and mechanistic knowledge of quercetin in these situations. Keywords: Quercetin, Antioxidant, Antidiabetic, Anti-Inflammatory
