Novel Metabolites of Beta-Carotene and Lycopene
April 24, 2018 updated by: Janet Novotny, USDA Beltsville Human Nutrition Research Center
The study (n = 36) will be a parallel design and will be 6 weeks in duration.
Participants will start with a 2-week free-living wash-in period where they will be asked to avoid certain carotenoid-rich foods, followed by 4 weeks of a completely controlled diet.
In addition to the controlled diet, participants will consume one of three beverages (300 mL/day; n = 12/group): placebo beverage (control), high beta-carotene tomato juice, and high-lycopene tomato juice.
Blood, urine and feces will be collected throughout the study.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Active Comparator: Beta-Carotene Tomato Juice
Participants will receive high beta-carotene tomato juice daily as part of controlled diet (base diet + high beta-carotene tomato juice).
|
Participants will receive high beta-carotene tomato juice daily in addition to the base diet.
Meals will be prepared using traditional American foods with a macronutrient composition representative of a typical American diet.
The base diet will be low in betacarotene and lycopene (no carrots, sweet potato, tomatoes, and dark greens).
During the controlled diet period, participants will be instructed to eat all foods and only foods provided to them, with the exception of water, coffee, tea, and diet soda.
|
Active Comparator: Lycopene Tomato Juice
Participants will receive high lycopene tomato juice daily as part of controlled diet (base diet + high lycopene tomato juice).
|
Participants will receive high lycopene tomato juice daily in addition to the base diet.
Meals will be prepared using traditional American foods with a macronutrient composition representative of a typical American diet.
The base diet will be low in betacarotene and lycopene (no carrots, sweet potato, tomatoes, and dark greens).
During the controlled diet period, participants will be instructed to eat all foods and only foods provided to them, with the exception of water, coffee, tea, and diet soda.
|
Placebo Comparator: Placebo Beverage
Participants will receive placebo beverage daily as part of controlled diet (base diet + placebo beverage).
|
Participants will receive a placebo beverage daily in addition to the base diet.
Meals will be prepared using traditional American foods with a macronutrient composition representative of a typical American diet.
The base diet will be low in betacarotene and lycopene (no carrots, sweet potato, tomatoes, and dark greens).
During the controlled diet period, participants will be instructed to eat all foods and only foods provided to them, with the exception of water, coffee, tea, and diet soda.

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Change in global gene expression
Time Frame: Baseline, 4 weeks
|
