From: Quercetin improves epithelial regeneration from airway basal cells of COPD patients
COPD patients treated with quercetin show increased expression of HOXB2 and ELF3. COPD patients were treated with placebo (4 patients) or quercetin (7 patients) for 6 months. Total RNA isolated from bronchial brushings obtained before and after completion of treatment was subjected RT-qPCR with gene-specific Taqman assays. The data was expressed as fold increase over G3PDH and represents intra-comparison of gene expression before and after treatment with placebo or quercetin (#p ≤ 0.05, different from sham, paired Shipiro-Wilk T test)
