Hypertension is a predisposing factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Results of previous clinical trials on the effects of lycopene supplementation on blood pressure are inconsistent. This systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized trials with parallel or cross-over design was conducted to summarize the effects of lycopene supplementation on blood pressure (BP).

Cardiovascular disorder is a significant source of illness and destruction in the US and worldwide. It is well known that diet and cardiovascular disease (CVD) are related and that managing and preventing CVD begins with dietary changes. The latest epoch of nutritional, medicinal, botanical, physiological, and analytical sciences has emerged due to the finding of … Continued

Cardiovascular disease remains a leading global cause of mortality, demanding effective prevention and management. This systematic review explores the impact of lycopene, prevalent in various fruits, on cardiovascular health. Thirteen randomized and controlled trials were analyzed, involving 385 participants with cardiovascular risk factors. Notable findings included significant blood pressure reductions, particularly among hypertensive individuals, and … Continued

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of human mortality worldwide. Oxidative stress and inflammation are pathophysiological processes involved in the development of CVD. That is why bioactive food ingredients, including lycopene, are so important in their prevention, which seems to be a compound increasingly promoted in the diet of people with cardiovascular problems. Lycopene … Continued

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death globally and the presence of ≥1 cardiovascular risk factors elevates total risk. Lycopene, a carotenoid with high antioxidant capacity, may be protective. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analyses is to determine the efficacy of consuming dietary and/or supplemental lycopene on cardiovascular risk factors. Using the PRISMA guidelines, 4 databases were systematically searched … Continued

Foods rich in antioxidants such as lycopene have a major role in maintaining cardiac health. Lycopene, 80% of which can be obtained by consuming a common vegetable such as tomato, can prevent the disturbances that contribute to cardiovascular disease (CVD). The present work begins with a brief introduction to CVD and lycopene and its various … Continued
