Thus Diosmin and Hesperidin decreases venous capacitance, venous distensibility, and venous emptying time.Diosmin and Hesperidin protects the microcirculation by fighting the microcirculation damaging process; It combats venous inflammation by decreasing leukocyte activation, and as a consequence, by inhibiting the release of inflammatory mediators, principally free radicals and prostaglandin.
