Protective effect of quercetin on high-fat diet-induced non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in mice has been reported. Recent research has revealed that several intestinal bacteria metabolize quercetin. We hypothesize that the difference in composition of intestinal microbiota affects quercetin absorption from the intestine. Germ-free BALB/cA female mice (18 weeks old) were randomly divided into four groups and orally administered with fecal suspension from four human individuals (HF1, HF2, HF3, HF4) to produce the human microbiota-associated mice. All mice were fed the 0.05% quercetin-containing pelleted diet for four weeks. Significant differences were observed in plasma total cholesterol and cecal microbiota among the four groups. Plasma quercetin concentration was significantly higher in the HF3 group than in the HF1 group. The plasma isorhamnetin/quercetin ratio showed significant negative correlation with visceral fat levels (r = −0.544, p = 0.013). Positive correlation was observed between the Log10 Enterobacteriaceae count and the plasma quercetin metabolites. Principal component analysis showed that all groups were distributed in different regions by using the correlation diagram with the second and third principal component. This study indicates that intestinal microbiota of human microbiota-associated mice inoculated with different fecal suspensions react to dietary quercetin in different ways.
