Lemon Juice and Peel Constituents Potently Stabilize Rat Peritoneal Mast Cells.
This study provides <i>in vitro</i> evidence for the first time that lemon constituents, such as citric acid, hesperetin, and eriodictyol, potently exert mast cell-stabilizing properties. These properties are attributable to their inhibitory effects on plasma membrane deformation in degranulating mast cells.
