Lycopene and lutein inhibit proliferation in rat prostate carcinoma cells.
Consumption of lycopene, a carotenoid without provitamin A activity, has been associated with a lower risk of prostate and breast cancer. Lutein is another carotenoid that may be associated with a reduced risk of age-related macular degeneration, the leading cause of blindness in adults 65 years of age and older. Bioactive compounds such as lycopene and lutein, derived from natural plant source...
متن کاملOxygenated Carotenoid Lutein and Progression of Early Atherosclerosis
Background—Carotenoids are hypothesized to explain some of the protective effects of fruit and vegetable intake on risk of cardiovascular disease. The present study assessed the protective effects of the oxygenated carotenoid lutein against early atherosclerosis. Methods and Results—Epidemiology: Progression of intima-media thickness (IMT) of the common carotid arteries over 18 months was deter...
متن کاملTomato Lycopene: Functional Proprieties and Health Benefits
The growing concerns for physical wellbeing and health have been reflected in the way we choose food in our table. Nowadays, we are all more informed consumers and choose healthier foods. On the other hand, stroke, cancer and atherosclerosis may be somehow minimized by the intake of some bioactive compounds present in food, the so-called nutraceuticals and functional foods. The aim of this work...
متن کاملThe biosynthesis of lycopene in tomato homogenates.
It has been demonstrated that radioactive lycopene results from the addition of labeled acetate to intact, green, ripening tomatoes (1, 2). In order to study more closely the metabolic pathway involved in the formation of this carotenoid, attempts to prepare a cell-free system which could synthesize lycopene were carried out. Labeled mevalonic acid could serve as a source of lycopene carbon in ...
