contents By considering the background field method we calculate one-loop polarization corrections to the coupling constant of the flavor-U(5) Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model with degenerate up and down quarks. They break flavor and chiral symmetries, and they can be written as $G_{ij}^Γ(\barψ λ_i Γψ) ( \barψ λ_j Γψ)$, for the scalar and pseudoscalar channels ($Γ=I , i γ_5$) and $i,j = 0,1,...,N_f^2-1$. Therefore, these coupling constants do not introduce further free parameters in the model which amount to five, six or seven in total. Their contributions to different observables are computed. The non-covariant three-dimensional regularization scheme is employed. Besides that, flavor dependence of cutoffs is implemented in an unambiguous way. It turns out that only two UV cutoffs ($Λ_f$) are best suitable. Nevertheless, the best results are obtained for nearly flavor-independent cutoffs. A quantum mixing due to the representations of the flavor group leads to different interactions for the quarks and for the meson states, respectively denoted by $G_{ff}$ and $G_{ij}$. This quantum mixing effect is responsible for a lowering of quark effective masses and a slight improvement of predictions of observables. A quite surprisingly good description of almost all the pseudoscalar meson masses (within nearly $5\%$) and most of the scalar meson masses -is obtained within nearly 10$\%$. Some problems to describe light scalar mesons masses still remain. The NJL-gap equations seems to overestimate the heavy quark condensates at the usual mean field level usually adopted for model. In spite of the good description of the meson masses, the pseudoscalar meson weak decay constant cannot be described by the NJL model with relativistic heavy quark propagators without further interactions or effects.
