Previous studies have shown PMFs to have a beneficial effect on cholesterol levels, but this is the first study to specifically analyze the impact on inflammatory cytokine levels. To determine the efficacy of PMFs, researchers fed 28 hamsters a high-fructose diet for two weeks to induce hypertriglyceridimia and insulin resistance. The animals were then divided into four groups with each group being fed a separate diet: chow; control fructose diet; fructose plus low dose PMF (62.5 mg/kg body weight per day); or fructose plus high dose PMF (125 mg/kg/day). At the end the four-week test, animals in both PMF groups showed significant improvement in TG and cholesterol levels.

The study, funded by the American Heart Association of Hawaii and the NIH-National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, adds to growing evidence that citrus fruits provide important health benefits. The primary PMFs in the extracts used in this study are tangeretin and nobiletin, in addition to a small amount of synephrine. Other plant pigments found in citrus have been shown to offer protection against cancer, heart disease and inflammation.
