Lycopene and cognitive function [PDF]

Journal of Nutritional Science, 2019
Decreases in cognitive function related to increases in oxidative stress and inflammation occur with ageing. Acknowledging the free radical-quenching activity and anti-inflammatory action of the carotenoid lycopene, the aim of the present review was to ...

Tomato-Soy Juice Reduces Inflammation and Modulates the Urinary Metabolome in Adults With Obesity. [PDF]

Mol Nutr Food Res
Compared to pre‐intervention, consuming a tomato‐soy juice (54 mg lycopene, 189 mg soy isoflavones/d) reduced levels of inflammatory cytokines (IL‐5, IL‐12p70, and GM‐CSF, with TNF‐alpha trending downward), increased plasma lycopene and urinary soy isoflavone metabolites, and altered the urinary metabolome. ABSTRACT Chronic, low‐grade inflammation is a

Cardiovascular Disease and Possible Ways in Which Lycopene Acts as an Efficient Cardio-Protectant against Different Cardiovascular Risk Factors

Molecules, 2022
Foods rich in antioxidants such as lycopene have a major role in maintaining cardiac health. Lycopene, 80% of which can be obtained by consuming a common vegetable such as tomato, can prevent the disturbances that contribute to cardiovascular disease ...

Evaluating the Variability in Lycopene and Agronomic Characteristics of Different Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill) Genotypes

Journal of Applied Sciences and Environmental Management, 2019
The study was aimed at generating data in breeding for tomato varieties with improved lycopene content. Different tomato genotypes were evaluated for variability in lycopene and agronomic characteristics. The lycopene content obtained ranged from 0.024 ±

Identification of an Epoxide Metabolite of Lycopene in Human Plasma Using 13C-Labeling and QTOF-MS

Metabolites, 2018
The carotenoid lycopene is a bioactive component of tomatoes and is hypothesized to reduce risk of several chronic diseases, such as prostate cancer. The metabolism of lycopene is only beginning to be understood and some studies suggest that metabolites ...

Improved Lycopene Production from Different Substrates by Mated Fermentation of Blakeslea Trispora

Foods, 2019
The production of lycopene from different substrates by Blakeslea trispora in fermentation was investigated. Lycopene productions from 4 and 6% glucose (pH 6.5) in shake flask fermentation were 77.7 and 28.1 mg L−1.

Continuous Self-Cycling Fermentation Leads to Economical Lycopene Production by Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2020
The economic feasibility and waste treatment problem are challenges to the industrialization of lycopene production from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In this study, fermentation wastewater, biomass residue, and residual D-galactose are recycled for lycopene
