25 Mar 2019 --- Naringenin, a flavonoid found in oranges and other citrus fruits, could hold potential for weight management. The chemical can control blood glucose levels and increase the amount of calories burned, according to a recent study by researchers from Louisiana State University’s Pennington Biomedical Research Center. Since people with obesity have notably more white fat than brown fat, converting white fat to beige fat can be beneficial strategy, note the researchers. More beige fat means that more calories from fat and glucose can be burned, benefitting people with obesity or diabetes.
