Protective activity of processed tomato products on postprandial oxidation and inflammation: A clinical trial in healthy weight men and women

Abstract

The data indicate that consuming tomato products with a meal attenuates postprandial lipemia-induced oxidative stress and associated inflammatory response. The relevance of OxLDL and inflammation to vascular injury suggests a potentially important protective role of tomato in reducing cardiovascular disease risk.
