One study also found a role of narangenin in acidic fruits in reducing body weight, fat, sugar and insulin, in simulated menopausal testosterone and estrogen deficiency, which lead to obesity and other metabolic disorders. Some studies also found a role for narangenin in reducing accumulated fat In mice, regardless of their effect on the calorie intake, indicating that it affects the body fat with other mechanisms that differ from simply affecting the amount of food eaten.
