Research Area: Cardiovascular Disease , Inflammation
Biological Activity:
Hesperidin is a flavanone glycoside found abundantly in citrus fruits. It is believed to play a role in plant defense. It acts as an antioxidant according to in vitro studies. [1] In human nutrition, it contributes to the integrity of the blood vessels. Various preliminary studies reveal novel pharmaceutical properties. It reduced cholesterol and blood pressure in rats. In a mouse study, large doses of the glucoside hesperidin decreased bone density loss. Another animal study showed protective effects against sepsis. Hesperidin has anti-inflammatory effects. It is also a potential sedative, possibly acting through opioid or adenosine receptors. [2][3]
