Summary

Tomatoes contain several compounds which may be beneficial for human health and prevention of disease, although this relationship is poorly understood and very controversial. This study uses a new technology to study the absorption and metabolism of three different compounds found in tomatoes. These compounds are called: phytoene, phytofluene, and lycopene. We hypothesize that by studying the absorption and metabolism of these compounds, we may be able to understand how the compounds may influence health and disease processes.

Conditions

• Healthy

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Isotopically labeled lycopene, phytoene or phytofluene	We will administer 10 mg of labeled carotenoid mixed with olive oil and spread on an English muffin for consumption by participants.
