Multidrug and toxic compound extrusion transporter-1 (MATE1) is a quercetin transporter. We examined the associations of quercetin intake and polymorphism of MATE1 in relation to metabolic syndrome (MetS) in Hallym Aging Study. Quercetin intake and the measurements for MetS were assessed in 2004. Six tagging single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at MATE1 gene were genotyped in 428 Korean adults in 2012. We found a lower prevalence of MetS with quercetin intake; compared to the lowest quartile, ...[more]
