Abstract

Flavonoids are important secondary metabolites that have a multitude of functions including pigments and antioxidant activity. Naringenin is a naturally occurring flavanone (flavonoid) known to have a bioactive effect on human health and is mainly found in fruits (grapefruit and oranges) and vegetables. Naringenin possesses various biological activities such as antidiabetic, antiatherogenic, antidepressant, immunomodulatory, antitumor, anti-inflammatory, DNA protective, hypolipidaemic, antioxidant, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) activator, and memory improving. A number of molecular mechanisms underlying its beneficial activities have been elucidated. This review provides naringenin medicinal uses for the treatment of many infectious and degenerative diseases.
