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

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

  957. carotenoids have a lower risk of coronary heart disease (CHD), possibly due to
  958. the antioxidant capacity. Lycopene, a carotenoid mainly found in tomatoes, has
  959. been suggested to have the greatest antioxidant capacity of the carotenoids found
  960. in fruits and vegetables. Carotenoids are fat-soluble compounds and their
  961. absorption from the diet into the body may depend on the amount of dietary fat
  962. ingested.
  963. For years there has been debate about what energy source should replace the
  964. saturated fat in the diet, to give the optimum serum lipid profile to reduce CHD
  965. risk. Studies have compared monounsaturated fat rich diets with high
  966. carbohydrate, low fat diets and have found that both diets decrease serum
  967. cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels. Results for
  968. high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and triglycerides have been
  969. inconsistent. However, it is of interest to study the effects of different diets on
  970. lipid oxidation, as this may also influence CHD risk.
  971. Studies have investigated the effect of different amounts of total fat on the serum
  972. levels of carotenoids especially beta-carotene and lutein, but to our knowledge no
  973. study has looked at the effect of different amounts of fats on the serum lycopene
  974. levels, and whether this could subsequently affect the oxidation of LDL in vitro.
  975. XIV
  976. Two separate randomised crossover dietary intervention studies were conducted;
  977. one in healthy men and the other in healthy women aged 20 to 70 years. The aim
  978. was to compare the effects of monounsaturated fat rich (MUFA) diet (38% of
  979. energy from fat) and high carbohydrate low fat (HCLF) diet (15% energy from
  980. fat) with controlled lycopene content, on serum lycopene levels. Main sources of
  981. lycopene in the diets were canned tomatoes and tomato soup for the study in
  982. women (lycopene content -15.9 mg/day) and tomato paste and tomato soup for
  983. the study in men (lycopene content - 20.2 mg/day). Serum lipids and lipoproteins
  984. levels and in vitro oxidation of LDL particles were also measured.
  985. Compared to the baseline levels there was a significant increase in the serum
  986. trans lycopene and total lycopene levels after MUFA diet for the study in women.
  987. Comparing the levels at the end of the two diets no difference was observed. In
  988. the study in men serum trans, cis and total lycopene levels increased after the
  989. MUFA and HCLF diet periods. There was no significant difference in trans; cis
  990. and total lycopene levels at the end of two diets.
  991. Thus, high levels of monounsaturated fat in the diet do not appear to increase
  992. lycopene absorption and serum levels compared to very low fat diet. There was
  993. however a better serum lipid profile after MUFA diet compared to HCLF diet.
  994. Lag phase for the in vitro oxidation of LDL particles was also longer on the
  995. MUFA diet. The lack of difference in antioxidant levels would indicate that this
  996. 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 &gt; 321200 Public Health and Health Services &gt; 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&amp;eprintid=737">item control page</a></p>
