Brief Summary:
The hypothesis of the study is that tomato extracted lycopene will be able to decrease postprandial oxidation and inflammation in healthy weight men and women when compared to Placebo.
Detailed Description:
Consumption of a high-fat meal results in a postprandial (fed-state) response characterized by hypertriglyceridemia. Postprandial hypertriglyceridemia increases the oxidation of low-density lipoproteins (LDL) and increases blood concentrations of several biomarkers of inflammation. This postprandial lipemia-induced oxidative stress mediated response to a high-fat meal has been suggested as a major contributor to the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis along with other chronic disease states of diabetes and obesity. Consumption of foods rich in antioxidant compounds provides a defence source to compliment endogenous defence systems to protect against oxidative damage during pro-oxidant conditions.
