Quercetin enhances sexual behavior and improves ectonucleotidases activity in the hypothalamus of rats treated with cyclosporine

In order to confirm the erectile potential of Quercetin (Q) in cyclosporine-induced hypertensive rats, this research assesses the influence of Q on the ectonucleotidases and adenosine deaminase (ADA) in the brains of rats. Male Wistar rats (200 g–250 g) were divided into five groups at random: Normal control (CTRL), cyclosporine-induced hypertensive rats (25 mg kg day–1) (HT) group, positive control (Sildenafil [SIL], 5 mg kg day–1), Quercetin...
