Study Summary

Limonoids are compounds found in citrus juices, seeds and peel. Some research shows that they reduce blood cholesterol and also reduce the incidence of several forms of cancer. Although these compounds are part of the natural human diet, the dose required to provide health benefits and the risks associated with the intake of high doses by humans have not been studied. This study will examine metabolism, safety, lipid-lowering and anti-inflammatory effects of limonoids. The dose of limonoids in this study is equivalent to that found in six 8 oz glasses of orange juice per day. The investigators hypothesize that limonin glucoside supplementation will reduce total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, ratio of LDL and HDL cholesterol, number of LDL particles, and serum markers of inflammation.

Primary Outcome

Plasma cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, triglyceride (TG), and remnant chylomicron particle concentrations will be determined. Lipid particle sizing will be performed by using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) technology. Plasma concentrations of apoproteins A1, B, C-III, and E will be measured.
