Citrus bioactive compounds improve bone quality and plasma antioxidant activity in orchidectomized rats.

Background: We reported that citrus consumption improves bone quality in orchidectomized male rats. In the present study, effects of feeding citrus bioactive compounds and crude extract on bone quality in orchidectomized rats were evaluated.

Methods: Seventy 90-days-old male rats were randomly assigned to five groups for 60 days of feeding study.
