Naringin is a flavanone plant metabolite which found in citrus fruits and in quantitatively significant amounts from grapefruit in particular. Naringin has attracted attention as a dietary supplement purported to aid in fat and weight loss. Ingestion of naringin and related flavonoids can interfere with the absorption and metabolism of certain drugs, and therefore consumption of grapefruit juice with medication is advised against. Naringin possesses numerous biological properties such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic activity. It has been extensively studied in pre-clinical models of atherosclerosis, cardiovascular disorders, diabetes mellitus, neurodegenerative disorders, osteoporosis, and rheumatological disorders, and several different cancer models.

Sample Use Guides
In a double-blind placebo-controlled study patients were provided an oral dose of 600 mg naringin in combination with 50 mg p-synephrine, and 100 mg hesperidin. The primary outcome monitored was changes in body composition as measured by Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry.
Route of Administration:
Oral
Human hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cell line was cultured in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Media (DMEM) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, 25 mM sodium bicarbonate, 20 mM HEPES, 100 ug/mL streptomycin, and 100 units/mL penicillin G and incubated at 37 deg-C in a 5% CO2 atmosphere. Cells were treated with various concentrations of naringin for 24 hours. Cytotoxicity was monitored using an MTT assay. Naringin was found to have an IC50 of 172 uM. The cytotoxic effect of naringin was due to apoptosis and occurred in a dose-dependent fashion. Furthermore, naringin induced the loss of Mitochondrial Transmembrane Potential which was observed by fluorochrome DiOC6 fluorescence intensity in the mitochondria of HepG2 cells. The mediator of apoptosis was found to be dependant on the enhancement of caspase-9, -8, and -3 activity as well as Bcl-2 family protein expressions.
