Key words:

Research Institution:

University of South Carolina

Location:

Researcher:

Elizabeth Angela Murphy

Project Description:

Evidence suggests that both physical activity and quercetin reduce some types of inflammation related to colorectal cancer. This animal study is examining the independent and combined effects of physical activity and quercetin on the progression of colorectal cancer and whether these effects result from a reduction in macrophage-induced inflammation.
