The anticancer effects of quercetin include its ability to reduce the proliferation of cancer cells [74–76], induce apoptosis [77], and cause cell cycle arrest [78] by modulating the activity of critical molecules for cell cycle progression, such as cyclins, PI3K/Akt signaling [79, 80] and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway [81]. Here, AKT1 is linked to cancer.
