Quercetin induces a slow myofiber phenotype in engineered human skeletal muscle tissues.

Abstract excerpt

Skeletal muscle comprises slow and fast myofibers, with slow myofibers excelling in aerobic metabolism and endurance. Quercetin, a polyphenol, is reported to induce slow myofibers in rodent skeletal muscle both in vitro and in vivo. However, its effect on human myofiber types remains unexplored. In this study, we evaluated quercetin's impact on slow myofiber induction using human skeletal muscle satellite cells....
