Quercetin alleviates pulmonary angiogenesis in a rat model of hepatopulmonary syndrome

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 49 (7), 2016
Quercetin shows protective effects against hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS), as demonstrated in a rat model. However, whether these effects involve pulmonary vascular angiogenesis in HPS remains unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the effect of quercetin on pulmonary vascular angiogenesis and ex...
