WHAT IS LYCOPENE? Lycopene is a carotenoid present in fruits and vegetables. There are more than 750 types of carotenoids in nature, only 20 of these are present in human blood and tissues. The carotenoid most often present in human blood is lycopene, followed by b-carotene, lutein and zeaxanthin. Red-ripe tomatoes and their derivatives are the main source of lycopene, furnishing approximately 85% of all lycopene in the human body. The amount of lycopene in tomatoes depends upon the variety of the fruit, its stage of ripening, and other environment and cultivation factors. Usually, the content of lycopene in red-ripe tomatoes is 30-80 mg/kg of fresh product, but it could be more than 150-300 mg/kg in some selected species obtained by traditional hybridization techniques. |

LYCOPENE IS ONE OF THE MOST STRONGER ANTIOXIDANTS ABLE TO CONTRAST FREE RADICALS |
MAIN PROPERTIES OF LYCOPENE Like other carotenoids, lycopene has a strong antioxidant power. The antioxidants are able to contrast the destructive action of free radicals in the human body (which are seriously dangerous for the cells and tissues); they carry out a basic protective and preventive function against various diseases. Free radicals are by-products of cellular metabolic processes of the body. They play an important role in a number of biological processes, some of which are necessary for life, such as the intracellular killing of bacteria. However, high quantities of free radicals could be very dangerous for the human body. Because of their extreme reactivity, free radicals can participate in deleterious side reactions resulting in cell damage. The targets of the destructive action of free radicals are the cellular components such as membrane lipids, nucleic acids and proteins. |
CANCER AND FREE RADICALS Many types of cancers are probably the result of interactions between free radicals and DNA, resulting in mutations that can adversely affect the cell cycle and potentially lead to malignancy. Free radicals may also be involved in Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases, arthritis, diabete mellitus, dermatitis and other degenerative diseases. OXIDATION OF THE SKIN DUE TO FREE RADICALS Some of the symptoms of aging such as atherosclerosis are also attributed to the oxidation of many of the chemicals constituting the body induced by free radicals. |

FREE RADICALS
ARE PART OF OUR LIFE Since free radicals are required for life,
the body has a number of mechanisms to reduce their negative action and
to repair damage which does occur such as the enzymes superoxide
dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase and glutathione reductase.
These endogenous systems need to be supported by the introduction of
exogenous antioxidants with the diet which can play a key role in
strengthening these defence mechanisms. |
EFFECT OF LYCOPENE SUPPLEMENTATION ON OXIDATIVE STRESS: AN EXPLORATORY SYSTEMATIC REVIEW AND META-ANALYSIS |
|
RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIALS IN CHINA Lycopene is a potentially useful compound for preventing and treating cardiovascular diseases and cancers. Studies on the effects of lycopene on oxidative stress offer insights into its mechanism of action and provide evidence-based rationale for its supplementation. In this analysis, randomized controlled trials of the effects of oral lycopene supplementation on any valid outcomes of oxidative stress were identified and pooled through a search of international journal databases and reference lists of relevant publications. Two reviewers extracted data from each of the identified studies. Only studies of sufficient quality were included. Twelve parallel trials and one crossover trial were included in the systematic review, and six trials provided data for quantitative meta-analysis. Our results indicate that lycopene supplementation significantly decreases the DNA tail length, as determined using comet assays, with a mean difference (MD) of - 6.27 [95% confidence interval (CI) - 10.74, - 1.90] (P = .006) between the lycopene intervention groups and the control groups. Lycopene supplementation does not significantly prolong the lag time of low-density lipoprotein (MD 3.76 [95% CI - 2.48, 10.01]; P = .24). Lycopene possibly alleviates oxidative stress; however, biomarker research for oxidative stress needs be more consistent with the outcomes in lycopene intervention trials for disease prevention. |

IMPORTANCE
OF LYCOPENE |
|
Since the human body cannot synthesize lycopene , it must be introduced eating fruits and vegetables or dietary supplements. Most of the commercially available supplements contain lycopene which has been chemically synthesized or extracted from red-ripe tomatoes by the use of chemical solvents. In both cases, the final product contains residuals of solvents, which are toxic for the body |
|
SYNTHETIC
LYCOPENE is obtained by a chemical process, which involves chemical
solvents and synthetic raw materials. This process gives a final product
containing toxic and dangerous chemicals. |

RED RIPE TOMATOES
THE MAIN SOURCE OF LYCOPENE and their derivatives are the main natural source of
lycopene giving approximately 85% of all lycopene in the human body. The
amount of lycopene in tomatoes depends the quality of fruit, the

in red-ripe tomatoes is 30-80 mg/kg of fresh product, but it could be
