  2. Naringenin C15 H12 O5

  3. What is a Flavanone? • A type of flavonoids. • They are generally glycosylated by a disaccharide at position seven to give flavanone glycosides. • The enzyme chalconeisomeraase uses a chalcone-like compound to produce a flavanone. • The flavonoid existing in highest concentration in grapefruit juice is naringin, which in humans is metabolized to naringenin(Bioactive form).

  4. Naringenin The predominant flavanone in grapefruit

  5. Grapefruit • A subtropical citrus tree known for its bitter fruit. When it was first discovered in Barbados, it was named the “forbidden fruit.” • Evergreen tree’s produce grapefruit, usually grow to be around 16-20ft tall. Leaves are dark green, long, and thin. It produces 2 in white flowers, and the fruits skin is a yellow-orange. • The flesh is highly acidic and the pulp varies in color depending on where its cultivated, which includes white, pink, and red pulps with varying sweetness. • The fruit is grown in the U.S in Florida, Texas, Arizona, and California. • Grapefruits contain a number of polyphenolic compounds, including flavanonenaringin, alongside the two furanocoumarinsbergamottin and dihydroxyberamottin.

  6. Naringenin Health benefits • Anti-microbial properties enhances immunity (immune system modulator) • Preserves youthfulness of skin • Regulates antioxidant capacity of catalase and superoxide dismutase (free radical scavengers) • Protects plasma vitamin E • Regulates CYP450 • Reduction of plasma cholesterol via reduction of Apo B secretion of LDL to cells • This helps lower chances for athlerosclerosisand heart disease

  7. Case study- Metabolic Syndrome and Naringenin Naringenin enhances insulin-stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation and improves the cellular actions of insulin in a dietary model of metabolic syndrome • Study explores the effects of naringenin (understood as an insulin sensitizer) in a high fructose induced model of insulin resistance. • Adult male wistar rats were divided up into two groups and were fed either a starch-based control diet or a high fructose diet (60 g/100 g) for 60 days. • From the 16th day, rats in each group were further divided into two, one of which was administered naringenin (50 mg/kg b.w) and the other was untreated for the next 45 days. • Oral glucose tolerance tests were done on day 59. On day 60, the levels of glucose, insulin, TG, free fatty acids in the blood and the activities of insulin-inducible and suppressible enzymes in cytosolic and mitochondrial fractions of liver and skeletal muscle were assayed.

  8. PTK & PTP • Protein tyrosine kinases (PTK) are the cellular enzymes that phosphorylate the tyrosine residues in proteins while protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTP) selectively dephosphor- ylate the tyrosine residues. The extent of tyrosine phosphorylation on a given protein is controlled by the reciprocal actions of PTP and PTK. Agents which enhance tyrosine phosphorylation could act as effective insulin sensitizers. (Kannappan)

  9. Case Study Results • The extent of protein tyrosine phosphorylation in response to insulin was determined by assaying protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) and protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) in the liver. • Results- fructose administration increased the plasma levels of glucose, insulin, TG, and FFA as compared to control rats. • Insulin resistance was indicated by alterations in insulin sensitivity indices. Alterations in enzyme activites and reduced glycogen content were obseved in fructose fed rats. PTP activity was high, while PTK was lower suggesting reduced tyrosine phosphorylation status. • Administration of naringenin improved insulin sensitivity and enhanced tyrosine phosphorylation in fructose-fed animals, while it did not affect the parameters in control diet-fed rats.

  10. Conclusion- Naringenin improves insulin signaling and sensitivity and thereby promotes the cellular actions of insulin in this model. KannappanS, Anuradha C V.

  14. Grapefruit Health Importance • ½ of a grapefruit provides 80% of daily vitamin C • Pectin fiber In the fruit helps lower cholesterol • Grapefruit seeds have antioxidant properties. • Vitamin B6 source, potassium, thiamin, niacin • The pink and red hues contain the beneficial antioxidant lycopene. • Grapefruit is very low in calories- just 42 calories per 100g. • The famous “Grapefruit Diet” is based on the theory being the fruit has a low glycemic index and is able to help the body’s metabolism burn fat.

  15. Grapefruit Health Importance cont. • Grapefruit seed extract has been shown to have strong antimicrobal properties against fungi and bacteria- however there are no studies in humans to document this efficacy. • Studies have hypothesized that grapefruit juice may play a direct role in the development of hormone dependent cancers • A 2007 study found a correlation between eating a quarter of grapefruit daily and a 30% increase in risk for breast cancer in post-menopausal women. The study points to the inhibition of CYP3A4 enzyme by grapefruit, which metabolizes estrogen. • A 2008 study, showed that grapfruit consumption does not increase breat cancer risk and found a significant decrease in breast cancer risk with greater intake of grapefruit in women who never used hormone therapy.

  16. Drug Nutrient Interactions • Grapefruits can have a number of interactions with drugs, often increasing the effective potency of compounds. • The polyphenolic compounds in grapefruits inhibit the drug-metabolizing enzyme isoform CYP3A4 predominately in the small intestine, but at higher doses also inhibits hepatic CYP3A4. • The effect of 4 oz. grapefruit juice can contain enough naringin to inhibit the metabolism of substrates of CYP3A4 in as short as 72 hours, which is why this is problematic. • This inhibition of this enzyme also increases the effects of a variety of drugs by increasing their bioavailability causing drug levels leading to adverse effects and/ or toxicity. • Grapefruits are the first drug-interacting fruit juice documented, highly with statins.

  17. Bioavailability • Naringenin is found in grapefruits, oranges, lemons, limes and tomato skin, but grapefruit provides the highest plasma concentration. • Absorption: 15% of ingested naringenin will be absorbed in the GI tract with the glycosilated form is less bioavailable than the aglycol form • Grapefruit juice can provide much higher plasma concentrations of naringenin than orange juice.

  18. Availability in the market • Production in 4 U.S. sates, counting for 1/2 of the world’s grapefruit output since 1990 • Florida (75% of U.S. grapefruit), California, Texas, Arizona • Florida and Texas grapefruit is available from November- June • California and Arizona’s fruit availiable from July-October • Florida’s warm weather allows grapefruit to reach maturity faster, allowing for an early market.

  19. Ripeness and Storage • Choose a grapefruit that feels solid and weighty. Look for a shiny, smooth skin to be sure of freshness. Reject those with soft areas, large brown spots, or dull dry looking skin. • For optimal bioavailability, keep grapefruits at 65F for a week, and 2-3 weeks in the fruit/veg compartment of the fridge. You may store grapefruit up to 6-8 weeks in the fridge. The first sign of a grapefruit going bad is the dehydration and collapse of the stem end
