Specific localization of flavonoids in macrophage cells in aorta. (A) Chemical structures of quercetin-3-O-glucuronide (Q3GA) and (–)-epicatechin-3-gallate (ECg), which were shown to accumulate in the atherosclerotic macrophage foam cells.(23,26) (B) Proposed mechanism for the specific accumulation of Q3GA and ECg in macrophage cells in the atherosclerotic lesions. GA, glucuronides.
