Abstract

Quercetin and its derivatives significantly alter the intestinal metabolite profile in mice.

  • Metabolic abnormalities were induced in mice through circadian rhythm disruption and a high-fat diet.
  • Quercetin and its derivatives showed potential in alleviating these metabolic disturbances.
  • A non-targeted fecal metabolomics analysis was conducted to evaluate the effects of quercetin.
  • These changes in metabolite profiles may provide insights for developing quercetin-based functional foods.
