Lycopene as effective as statins for artery health: rabbit study
- Nutra USA, 7/3/08 - "The results of our
experiment in the high-fat diet rabbit model showed that lycopene
and fluvastatin lowered serum levels of total cholesterol and
LDL-cholesterol, improved lipid metabolism, and reduced the amount
of triacylglycerols ... Lycopene intervention reduced the increase
in ox-LDL levels in rabbits on the high-fat diet, whereas
fluvastatin did not show such an effect. The cause of this
difference is at present not known, although the result speaks in
favour of lycopene ... These findings provide a theoretical
rationale for the use of lycopene as a preventive in
atherosclerosis" - [Abstract]

Comparison of
lycopene and fluvastatin effects on atherosclerosis induced by a
high-fat diet in rabbits - Nutrition. 2008 Jun 26 -
"Compared with the control, levels of total
cholesterol, total triacylglycerol, low-density lipoprotein
cholesterol, malonaldehyde, oxidized low-density lipoprotein, and
interleukin-1 were increased and total antioxidant capacity and
nitric oxide were decreased in the animals with a high-fat diet (P <
0.05). Intragastric administration of lycopene counteracted the
change in these parameters (P < 0.05). In this case, the data showed
that lycopene in the used dose was better than the fluvastatin
intervention. Morphologic analysis revealed that lycopene and
fluvastatin markedly reduced the formation of atherosclerotic
plaques in the aorta compared with the situation in rabbits on a
high-fat diet alone ... Lycopene, like fluvastatin, significantly
attenuated atherogenesis in rabbits fed a high-fat diet" -

"Most significantly, while the PWV remained

-- decreasing serum total cholesterol levels without reducing serum high-density lipoprotein levels, providing powerful scavenging reactive oxygen species, as well as reducing serum levels of low-density lipoprotein and C-reactive protein" - See
