Demonstrates that naringenin alleviates intestinal mucositis in mice, suggesting it may help cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.

The aim was to evaluate the protective effects of naringenin against 5-fluorouracil-induced intestinal mucositis.
Utilized multiomics analysis including 16S rRNA sequencing and bile acid metabolomics.
Analyzed the effects of naringenin on weight loss, diarrhea, and inflammatory responses in mice.
Examined changes in gene expression through transcriptomic and Western blot analyses.
Naringenin significantly mitigated weight loss and diarrhea in mice with intestinal mucositis.
Regulated intestinal microbiota linked to inflammation and bile acid metabolism.
Upregulated key proteins involved in the PPAR signaling pathway, indicating a multipathway mechanism of action.
