摘要
Spermatogenesis process plays a major role in male fertility. Quercetin, a flavonoid, is found in daily food or traditional Chinese medicine, which has a significant effect on treating inflammatory diseases. Several studies have shown that quercetin can improve male spermatogenesis. However, the intrinsic mechanism has not been systematically investigated. The network pharmacology approaches were utilized to investigate the mechanisms of quercetin against spermatogenesis impairment (SI). 78 potential therapeutic targets of quercetin against SI were identified. The enrichment analysis showed that the mechanism of quercetin on SI is closely related to its anti-inflammatory pharmacological effects. It is indicated that quercetin could be used for treating SI through inflammation-related targets or pathways including NF-kappa B, MAPK, JAK-STAT and Toll-like receptor signaling pathways.
