  • Title: Quercetin, flavonoids and the life-span of mice.
    Author: Jones E, Hughes RE.
    Journal: Exp Gerontol; 1982; 17(3):213-7. PubMed ID: 7140862.
    Abstract:
    A dietary supplement of 0.1% quercetin significantly reduced the life span of mice. The effect was predominantly on the 'shorter living' males. A blackcurrant juice extract, containing a mixture of flavonoids in addition to quercetin, prolonged significantly the life span of the 'older dying' females. The significance of these results vis-a-vis aging mechanisms and the dietary intake of quercetin is discussed.
