Introduction
Naringenin is a flavanone , a type of flavonoid, that is considered to have a bioactive effect on human health as antioxidant , free radical scavenger , anti-inflammatory , carbohydrate metabolism promoter, and immune system modulator. It is the predominant flavanone in Grapefruit
Biological effects
This substance has also been shown to reduce oxidative damage to DNA in vitro . Scientists exposed cells to 80 micromoles of naringenin per liter, for 24 hours, and found that the amount of hydroxyl damage to the DNA was reduced by 24% in that very short period of time
Naringenin seems to protect LDLR -deficient mice from the obesity effects of a high-fat diet
