Study Summary

Hepatitis C virus when it leaves the cells in the liver is bound to a type of fat. An component of grapefruit could block this fat and thus lower the amount of virus in the blood stream. We propose that treatment with this ingredient, called naringenin, could be used to block this fat and HCV in persons infected with hepatitis C.

Primary Outcome

Level of naringenin will be measured by HPLC at time 0, 30, 40, 90, 120, 150, and 180 min and at 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 12 hours.
