Summary

Epidemiological studies have indicated that the consumption of citrus fruit is inversely associated with the risk of cardiovascular disease. However, clinical data regarding the effects of blood orange juice upon endothelial function is scarce. This randomised, crossover study investigates whether blood orange juice compared to a control drink improves blood vessel function and other cardiovascular health indicators (such as blood pressure and blood lipids). All the subjects will be asked to consume blood orange juice and a control drink in a randomised order, each over a 2-week period, divided by a 1-week wash out period.
