The Effect of Supplementation with Quercetin, catechin and Rich Food of Them in Immune System in Experimental Rats

Abstract

At this time, there appears to be a clear link between food components and immunological function. Since the 1960s, scientists have recognised that the immune system plays an important role in the link between starvation and illness. However, a major emphasis of contemporary study is the prospect of using nutrition to modulate the immune system of healthy people in order to improve health. Supplementing with specific nutrients, particularly those having antioxidant properties, has been proven by some scientists to increase immunological function. Nutrient status is an essential role in immunological effectiveness, and there are complex relationships between diet, infection, and health. Significant study has focused on the significance of nutrition, particularly the contribution of micronutrients to the optimum functioning of the immune system, in the previous decade. It is estimated that 6 million children die each year around the world as a result of diseases induced by hunger and a weakened immune system. We must make sure that we are consuming more food in order to maintain a healthy immune system. Individual nutritional deficit can also affect immunological responses, even if the deficiency is minor. Selenium, zinc, copper, iron, and vitamins A, C, E, and B6, as well as folic acid and antioxidants like Quercetin (Q) and catechins (CT), all have a role in immunological responses.
