A number of drugs that are known to be affected by the naringin in grapefruit include calcium channel blockers, estrogen, sedatives, medications for high blood pressure, allergies, AIDS, and cholesterol-lowering drugs.

Naringenin significantly decreased the cerebral water content, reduced the volume of cerebral infarction of the impaired brain hemisphere, lowered the level of MDA and improved the activity of SOD in the brain. This shows Naringenin can have protective effect on brain hemisphere.

3. It can significantly lower the plasma cholesterol concentration and the hepatic cholesterol content.
