- Abstract: To summarize the research progress of the regulation of lipid metabolism by citrus flavonoids. Recent research articles were analyzed and summarized. Citrus flavonoids are mainly flavanones and polymethoxyflavones, and they can regulate lipid metabolism and prevent atherosclerosis in vitro and in vivo. Factors such as different flavonoid profiles, dosage, time, and experimental models all affect the effectiveness. Citrus flavonoids have great application potentials in regulation of lipid metabolism in vivo, and it has both theoretical and practical significance to screen and study citrus flavonoids.
