Abstract
Naringenin, a phytoalexin found in grapefruit. has been reported to exhibit a wide range of pharmacological properties. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the protective effect of naringenin on hepatic fibrosis induced by dimethylnitrosamine (DMN) in rats. Fibrosis was induced by intraperitoneal injection of DMN. Naringenin was given orally at 20 mg/kg and 50 mg/kg daily for 4 weeks. (omitted)
