This study aimed to evaluate the effect of regular orange juice consumption on nutritional parameters, hemodynamics and biochemicals of patients with chronic hepatitis C. The study included thirty-six adults of both sexes, divided into four groups: Group with drug treatment and orange juice (MedJuice), Group without drug treatment and with orange juice (Juice), Group with drug treatment and no orange juice (Med) and Group without drug treatment and no orange juice (Control). The participants of groups Juice and MedJuice received 500 mL / day of pasteurized orange juice for 8 weeks. The anthropometric variables were studied: weight, height, skin folds of the triceps, biceps, subscapular and suprailiac and waist circumference. For hemodynamic evaluation were found systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and for dietary assessment was used food records for three alternate days. For the biochemical evaluation were performed in total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, fasting glucose, insulin, C-reactive protein, lipid peroxidation, antioxidant capacity, TNF-α, interleukins 6 and 10 and viral load. All evaluations were performed before and after consumption of orange juice. The results showed that after the consumption of orange juice, patients of Juice group had significant reduction in LDL-C (-9.9%), systolic blood pressure (-4.5%), insulin (-26.5%), HOMA index (-32.0%), lipid peroxidation (-68.5%), C-reactive protein (-48.8%) and TNF-α (-11.7%) and increase in antioxidant capacity (1.2%); and patients of MedJuice group had significant reduction in LDL-C (-13.7%), systolic blood pressure (5.1%), HDL-C (-12.2%), lipid peroxidation (-39.1%), C-reactive protein (-74.9% ), TNF-α (-8.8%) and viral load (26.5%) and increase in antioxidant capacity (2.5%). There was no significant decrease in anthropometric variables. Consumption of orange juice increased by 334.0% to intake of vitamin C and 63.6% folate intake of participants in the ...
