Quercetin Downregulates Cyclooxygenase-2 Expression and HIF-1α/VEGF Signaling-Related Angiogenesis in a Mouse Model of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm

Objective. Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) development has been characterized by increased expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), which contributes to angiogenesis via cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). Quercetin, one of the most common and well-researched flavonoids and abundant in vegetab...
