Disease relevance of trans-Lycopene

  • METHODS: Colitis was induced using the iodoacetamide rat model, and rats were divided into different dietary groups of 6 rats each: 1, normal chow diet (control); 2, diet supplemented with iron; 3, iron supplementation and lycopene; 4, iron and Beta-carotene; 5, 5-ASA; 6, 5-ASA and lycopene; 7, 5-ASA and iron; 8, 5-ASA, iron, and lycopene [1].
 

High impact information on trans-Lycopene

  • The cyclization of lycopene (psi, psi-carotene) is a key branch point in the pathway of carotenoid biosynthesis [2].
  • Furthermore, all-trans-lycopene supplementation in ferrets resulted in significant accumulation of cis-isomers of lycopene and the formation of apo-10'-lycopenol, as well as up-regulation of the CMO2 expression in lung tissues [3].
  • Ingestion of tomato paste was found to yield 2.5-fold higher total and all-trans-lycopene peak concentrations (P < 0.05 and P < 0.005, respectively) and 3.8-fold higher area under the curve (AUC) responses (P < 0.001) than ingestion of fresh tomatoes [4].
  • RESULTS: Synthetic and tomato-lycopene resulted in significant increases above baseline of serum total lycopene by 0.58 and 0.57 micro mol/L, trans-lycopene by 0.34 and 0.41 micro mol/L, and total-cis-lycopene by 0.24 and 0.16 micro mol/L, whereas no significant changes were found in the placebo treatment [5].
  • When the mutant cells cultured under dark conditions were irradiated, cis-isomers of carotenes were converted to all-trans lycopene [6].

Gene context of trans-Lycopene

  • Water-soluble complexes of the dietary carotenoid psi,psi-carotene (lycopene 1) with cyclomaltohexaose (alpha-cyclodextrin, alphaCD) and cyclomaltoheptaose (beta-cyclodextrin, betaCD) have been prepared and characterized via multiangle light scattering (MALS), ionspray/electrospray ionization (IS/ESI) mass spectrometry (MS) and tandem MS [12].
