Quercetin also inhibits smooth muscle contraction, as well as degranulation of mast cells and basophils. Quercetin also inhibits many of the inflammatory products of steps in fatty acid metabolism, especially phospholipase A2 and lipoxy-genase enzyme production. This results in reduced formation of leucotrienes, which are 1000 times more inflammatory than histamine, and are linked to asthma, psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, gout, ulcerative colitis, and possibly cancer.
