Biological Function of Naringenin and Its Application in Livestock and Poultry Production
Naringenin is a type of natural biodegradable flavonoid compound and serves as the aglycone of nar-ingin.It exhibits a variety of biological functions,including anti-pathogenic,anti-inflammatory,anti-tumor,anti-oxidative,regulation of sugar and lipid metabolism,and regulation of gastrointestinal function.It is exten-sively utilized in medicine,food,and other domains and has the potential to become a natural green feed addi-tive and drug combination agent.In this paper,the physicochemical properties,biological functions,and appli-cation of naringenin in livestock production are reviewed to provide a reference for the development and appli-cation of naringenin in livestock production.[Chinese Journal of Animal Nutrition,2024,36(12):7601-7612]
