The main citrus flavonoids found in orange juice are hesperidin and naringenin, which can affect several metabolic routes that improve blood serum antioxidant capacity and anti-inflammatory performance, while decreasing insulin resistance protecting against diabetes and metabolic syndrome. In addition, orange juice is linked with better nutrition and satiation contributing to body weight maintenance (Ribeiro et al. 2017).299-323engHealth benefits of orange juice and citrus flavonoidsCapĂtulo de livro10.4324/9781315369068Acesso restrito2-s2.0-85052905660
