Naringenin Promotes Thermogenic Gene Expression in Human White Adipose Tissue: Naringenin Promotes Thermogenic Gene Expression

Objective Naringenin, a citrus flavonoid, prevents diet-induced weight gain and improves glucose and lipid metabolism in rodents. There is evidence that naringenin activates brown fat and increases energy expenditure in mice, but little is known about its effects in humans. Our goal was to examine the effects of naringenin on energy expenditure in adipose tissue.
