Lycopene and Apo-12′-Lycopenal Reduce Cell Proliferation and Alter Cell Cycle Progression in Human Prostate Cancer Cells
TL;DR: The present data indicate that lycopene and apo-12′-lycopenal reduce the proliferation of prostate cancer cells, in part, by inhibiting normal cell cycle progression.
Journal ArticleDOI
Factors influencing the uptake and absorption of carotenoids.
TL;DR: In his classic book entitled Vitamin A, Thomas Moore wrote, “There are many complicating factors, both chemical and physiological, which will make it difficult to give an account of the absorption of vitamin A and its provitamins (carotenoids) which is both clear and reasonably comprehensive (1).
Journal ArticleDOI
Apo-8′-Lycopenal and Apo-12′-Lycopenal Are Metabolic Products of Lycopene in Rat Liver
TL;DR: These data show that lycopene is cleaved in vivo by rats at different positions to produce apo-12'-lycopenal, and other unidentified metabolites in addition to apO-8'-lyCopenal.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tomato products, lycopene, and prostate cancer risk.
Elizabeth C. Miller,Edward Giovannucci,John W. Erdman,Robert R. Bahnson,Steven J. Schwartz,Steven K. Clinton +5 more
TL;DR: It is reasonable to recommend to the general population the consumption of tomato products at approximately one serving per day or five servings per week as part of an overall healthy dietary pattern that may reduce the risks of prostate cancer, other malignancies, or other chronic diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) gene polymorphism, interactions with carotenoid levels and prostate cancer risk
Bahar Mikhak,David J. Hunter,Donna Spiegelman,Elizabeth A. Platz,Kana Wu,John W. Erdman,Edward Giovannucci +6 more
TL;DR: Findings are consistent with findings from earlier studies that reported when antioxidant status is low, the MnSOD Ala/Ala genotype may be associated with an increased risk of aggressive prostate cancer.
