[5], [6] The recent study also demonstrated that Hesperidine and Naringin are useful for improving hyperlipemia and hyperglycemia in type 2 diabetes, partially regulating the metabolism of fatty acids and cholesterol and affecting the expression of genes of regulatory Glucose of enzymes, and they significantly enhance the expression of the liver and adipocytic protein pparγ. In addition, Naringenin enhanced oxidation of fatty acids in the liver due to increased expression of enzymes of enzymes involved in peroxysomal β-oxidation in mice. [7]
