- <meta content="Epidemiological data suggest that populations with higher serum/ tissue levels of
- carotenoids have a lower risk of coronary heart disease (CHD), possibly due to
- the antioxidant capacity. Lycopene, a carotenoid mainly found in tomatoes, has
- been suggested to have the greatest antioxidant capacity of the carotenoids found
- in fruits and vegetables. Carotenoids are fat-soluble compounds and their
- absorption from the diet into the body may depend on the amount of dietary fat
- ingested.
- For years there has been debate about what energy source should replace the
- saturated fat in the diet, to give the optimum serum lipid profile to reduce CHD
- risk. Studies have compared monounsaturated fat rich diets with high
- carbohydrate, low fat diets and have found that both diets decrease serum
- cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels. Results for
- high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and triglycerides have been
- inconsistent. However, it is of interest to study the effects of different diets on
- lipid oxidation, as this may also influence CHD risk.
- Studies have investigated the effect of different amounts of total fat on the serum
- levels of carotenoids especially beta-carotene and lutein, but to our knowledge no
- study has looked at the effect of different amounts of fats on the serum lycopene
- levels, and whether this could subsequently affect the oxidation of LDL in vitro.
- XIV
- Two separate randomised crossover dietary intervention studies were conducted;
- one in healthy men and the other in healthy women aged 20 to 70 years. The aim
- was to compare the effects of monounsaturated fat rich (MUFA) diet (38% of
- energy from fat) and high carbohydrate low fat (HCLF) diet (15% energy from
- fat) with controlled lycopene content, on serum lycopene levels. Main sources of
- lycopene in the diets were canned tomatoes and tomato soup for the study in
- women (lycopene content -15.9 mg/day) and tomato paste and tomato soup for
- the study in men (lycopene content - 20.2 mg/day). Serum lipids and lipoproteins
- levels and in vitro oxidation of LDL particles were also measured.
- Compared to the baseline levels there was a significant increase in the serum
- trans lycopene and total lycopene levels after MUFA diet for the study in women.
- Comparing the levels at the end of the two diets no difference was observed. In
- the study in men serum trans, cis and total lycopene levels increased after the
- MUFA and HCLF diet periods. There was no significant difference in trans; cis
- and total lycopene levels at the end of two diets.
- Thus, high levels of monounsaturated fat in the diet do not appear to increase
- lycopene absorption and serum levels compared to very low fat diet. There was
- however a better serum lipid profile after MUFA diet compared to HCLF diet.
- Lag phase for the in vitro oxidation of LDL particles was also longer on the
- MUFA diet. The lack of difference in antioxidant levels would indicate that this
- was due to the different fatty acid component of the diet." name="eprints.abstract" />

- <meta content="Epidemiological data suggest that populations with higher serum/ tissue levels of
- carotenoids have a lower risk of coronary heart disease (CHD), possibly due to
- the antioxidant capacity. Lycopene, a carotenoid mainly found in tomatoes, has
- been suggested to have the greatest antioxidant capacity of the carotenoids found
- in fruits and vegetables. Carotenoids are fat-soluble compounds and their
- absorption from the diet into the body may depend on the amount of dietary fat
- ingested.
- For years there has been debate about what energy source should replace the
- saturated fat in the diet, to give the optimum serum lipid profile to reduce CHD
- risk. Studies have compared monounsaturated fat rich diets with high
- carbohydrate, low fat diets and have found that both diets decrease serum
- cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels. Results for
- high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and triglycerides have been
- inconsistent. However, it is of interest to study the effects of different diets on
- lipid oxidation, as this may also influence CHD risk.
- Studies have investigated the effect of different amounts of total fat on the serum
- levels of carotenoids especially beta-carotene and lutein, but to our knowledge no
- study has looked at the effect of different amounts of fats on the serum lycopene
- levels, and whether this could subsequently affect the oxidation of LDL in vitro.
- XIV
- Two separate randomised crossover dietary intervention studies were conducted;
- one in healthy men and the other in healthy women aged 20 to 70 years. The aim
- was to compare the effects of monounsaturated fat rich (MUFA) diet (38% of
- energy from fat) and high carbohydrate low fat (HCLF) diet (15% energy from
- fat) with controlled lycopene content, on serum lycopene levels. Main sources of
- lycopene in the diets were canned tomatoes and tomato soup for the study in
- women (lycopene content -15.9 mg/day) and tomato paste and tomato soup for
- the study in men (lycopene content - 20.2 mg/day). Serum lipids and lipoproteins
- levels and in vitro oxidation of LDL particles were also measured.
- Compared to the baseline levels there was a significant increase in the serum
- trans lycopene and total lycopene levels after MUFA diet for the study in women.
- Comparing the levels at the end of the two diets no difference was observed. In
- the study in men serum trans, cis and total lycopene levels increased after the
- MUFA and HCLF diet periods. There was no significant difference in trans; cis
- and total lycopene levels at the end of two diets.
- Thus, high levels of monounsaturated fat in the diet do not appear to increase
- lycopene absorption and serum levels compared to very low fat diet. There was
- however a better serum lipid profile after MUFA diet compared to HCLF diet.
- Lag phase for the in vitro oxidation of LDL particles was also longer on the
- MUFA diet. The lack of difference in antioxidant levels would indicate that this
- was due to the different fatty acid component of the diet." name="DC.description" />

- carotenoids have a lower risk of coronary heart disease (CHD), possibly due to
- the antioxidant capacity. Lycopene, a carotenoid mainly found in tomatoes, has
- been suggested to have the greatest antioxidant capacity of the carotenoids found
- in fruits and vegetables. Carotenoids are fat-soluble compounds and their
- absorption from the diet into the body may depend on the amount of dietary fat
- ingested.
- For years there has been debate about what energy source should replace the
- saturated fat in the diet, to give the optimum serum lipid profile to reduce CHD
- risk. Studies have compared monounsaturated fat rich diets with high
- carbohydrate, low fat diets and have found that both diets decrease serum
- cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels. Results for
- high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and triglycerides have been
- inconsistent. However, it is of interest to study the effects of different diets on
- lipid oxidation, as this may also influence CHD risk.
- Studies have investigated the effect of different amounts of total fat on the serum
- levels of carotenoids especially beta-carotene and lutein, but to our knowledge no
- study has looked at the effect of different amounts of fats on the serum lycopene
- levels, and whether this could subsequently affect the oxidation of LDL in vitro.
- XIV
- Two separate randomised crossover dietary intervention studies were conducted;
- one in healthy men and the other in healthy women aged 20 to 70 years. The aim
- was to compare the effects of monounsaturated fat rich (MUFA) diet (38% of
- energy from fat) and high carbohydrate low fat (HCLF) diet (15% energy from
- fat) with controlled lycopene content, on serum lycopene levels. Main sources of
- lycopene in the diets were canned tomatoes and tomato soup for the study in
- women (lycopene content -15.9 mg/day) and tomato paste and tomato soup for
- the study in men (lycopene content - 20.2 mg/day). Serum lipids and lipoproteins
- levels and in vitro oxidation of LDL particles were also measured.
- Compared to the baseline levels there was a significant increase in the serum
- trans lycopene and total lycopene levels after MUFA diet for the study in women.
- Comparing the levels at the end of the two diets no difference was observed. In
- the study in men serum trans, cis and total lycopene levels increased after the
- MUFA and HCLF diet periods. There was no significant difference in trans; cis
- and total lycopene levels at the end of two diets.
- Thus, high levels of monounsaturated fat in the diet do not appear to increase
- lycopene absorption and serum levels compared to very low fat diet. There was
- however a better serum lipid profile after MUFA diet compared to HCLF diet.
- Lag phase for the in vitro oxidation of LDL particles was also longer on the
- MUFA diet. The lack of difference in antioxidant levels would indicate that this
- was due to the different fatty acid component of the diet.</p></div><table style="margin-bottom: 1em" cellpadding="3" class="not_ep_block" border="0"><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Item Type:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">Thesis (Research Master)</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Keywords:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">lycopene, carotenoids, coronary heart disease, antioxidants, monounsaturated fat rich diet, high carbohydrate low fat diet, tomatoes</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Subjects:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row"><a href="http://eprints.utas.edu.au/view/subjects/320000.html">320000 Medical and Health Sciences</a><br /><a href="http://eprints.utas.edu.au/view/subjects/321205.html">320000 Medical and Health Sciences > 321200 Public Health and Health Services > 321205 Nutrition and Dietetics</a></td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">ID Code:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">737</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Deposited By:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row"><span class="ep_name_citation"><span class="person_name">Cherie Holmes</span></span></td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Deposited On:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">12 Apr 2007</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Last Modified:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">09 Jan 2008 02:30</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">ePrint Statistics:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row"><a target="ePrintStats" href="/es/index.php?action=show_detail_eprint;id=737;">View statistics for this ePrint</a></td></tr></table><p align="right">Repository Staff Only: <a href="http://eprints.utas.edu.au/cgi/users/home?screen=EPrint::View&eprintid=737">item control page</a></p>
