Long-term intake of soy protein improves blood lipid profiles and increases mononuclear cell low-density-lipoprotein receptor messenger RNA in hypercholesterolemic, postmenopausal women.

TL;DR: It is indicated that soy protein, with different amounts of isoflavones, may decrease the risk of cardiovascular disease via improved blood lipid profiles, and that the mechanism by which apolipoprotein B-containing lipoproteins were depressed may be via alterations in LDL receptor quantity or activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cis-Lycopene Is More Bioavailable Than Trans-Lycopene In Vitro and In Vivo in Lymph-Cannulated Ferrets

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that in ferrets, cis-isomers of lycopene are more bioavailable than trans-lycopene probably because cis- isomers are more soluble in bile acid micelles and may be preferentially incorporated into chylomicrons.
Journal ArticleDOI

Concentrations of selected carotenoids and vitamin A in human liver, kidney and lung tissue.

TL;DR: In this article, the carotenoid concentrations in liver, kidney and lung tissue from 20 autopsies of subjects ranging in age from 4 mo to 86 y were determined.
Journal ArticleDOI

Plasma and Dietary Carotenoids, and the Risk of Prostate Cancer: A Nested Case-Control Study

TL;DR: It is suggested that among younger men, diets rich in β-carotene may also play a protective role in prostate carcinogenesis, and tomato products may exhibit more potent protection against sporadic prostate cancer than those with a stronger familial or hereditary component.
