Title

Effects of flavonoid-rich orange juice intervention on major depressive disorder in young adults: a randomized controlled trial

Overall design

The aim of this study was to assess the effects of flavonoid-rich orange juice on the major depressive disorder (MDD) using a randomized controlled trial. In this study, 40 patients with MDD were randomly assigned to a flavonoid-rich orange juice group and a flavonoid-low orange cordial group. The HAMD-17, BDI-II, and CES-D scores of the two groups significantly decreased after 8-week treatment, indicating an improvement in MDD scores. The subjects provided fecal specimens before and after the 8-week treatment. Six short-chain fatty acids were analyzed by LC-MS/MS.
