Naringenin Inhibits Platelet Activation and Arterial Thrombosis Through Inhibition of Phosphoinositide 3-Kinase and Cyclic Nucleotide Signaling.

ABSTRACT: Citrus flavanoids intake can reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Naringenin, a natural predominant flavonoid abundant in citrus fruits, possesses protective effects against atherothrombotic diseases. As platelet activation plays central roles in atherothrombogenesis, we studied the effects of naringenin on platelet activation, signaling, thrombosis and hemostasis. Naringenin dose-dependently inhibited agonist-induced platelet aggregation in vitro, and exhibited more-potent efficacy on ADP-induced platelet aggregation. It also suppressed platelet aggregation stimulated by ADP ex vivo. Naringenin inhibited ADP-induced platelet α-granule secretion, fibrinogen binding, intracellular calcium mobilization and platelet adhesion on collagen-coated surface. Naringenin also inh
