Chicken piccata is good for you, at least if it’s covered with enough capers. That’s the take home lesson from the University of California’s Irvine School of Medicine, where researchers have discovered that a compound named quercetin, commonly consumed when eating capers, can regulate proteins required for bodily processes such as the heartbeat, thought, muscular contraction, and normal functioning of the thyroid, pancreas and gastrointestinal tract. The UCI School of Medicine reports that the study revealed that quercetin modulates the KCNQ channels by directly regulating how they sense electrical activity in the cell, suggesting a previously unexpected mechanism for the therapeutic properties of capers. The mechanism may extend to other quercetin-rich foods in our diet, and quercetin-based nutritional supplements.
