Naringenin is a type of flavonone – that is, it contains both Vitamin P and citrin. Flavanoid refers to a specific class of diverse biological natural produce that contains the aromatic heterocyclic structure of the component flavan, but, without the nitrogen present in the plants.

Naringenin seems to protect LDLR-deficient mice from the obesity effects of a high-fat diet. Naringenin lowers the plasma and hepatic cholesterol concentrations by suppressing HMG-CoA reductase and ACAT in rats fed a high-cholesterol diet. Naringenin has also been shown to reduce hepatitis C virus production by infected hepatocytes (liver cells) in cell culture. This seem to be secondary to Naringenin ability to inhibit the secretion of very-low-density lipoprotein by the cells. The antiviral effects of naringenin are currently under clinical investigation. ebiochem.com
