Protection of the genome through
antioxidant actions may be a general function of resveratrol. In
laboratory studies, resveratrol bears a significant
transcriptional overlap with the beneficial effects of
calorie restriction in
heart,
skeletal muscle and
brain. Both dietary interventions inhibit
gene expression associated with heart and skeletal muscle
aging, and prevent age-related heart failure.
Resveratrol is the subject of several human
clinical trials, among which the most advanced is a one year dietary
regimen in a Phase III study of elderly patients with
Alzheimer's disease.
Synthesized by many plants, resveratrol apparently serves
antifungal and other defensive properties. Dietary resveratrol has
been shown to modulate the metabolism of
lipids and to inhibit oxidation of low-density lipoproteins and
aggregation of
platelets.]
Resveratrol is found in wide amounts among grape varieties, primarily in
their skins and seeds which, in
muscadine grapes, have about one hundred times higher concentration
than pulp. Fresh grape skin contains about 50 to 100 micrograms of
resveratrol per gram
Tomato extract Botanically speaking, a tomato
is a fruit since it
is the ovary, together with its seeds, of a flowering plant. However,
from a culinary perspective, the tomato is served as part of a main
course of a meal, as are other
vegetables,
rather than at dessert. The term "vegetable" has no botanical meaning
and is purely a culinary term.
Benefit of tomato plant and lycopene
Tomatoes have many antioxidants including the popular lycopene. Is a
Lycopene supplement necessary for optimal health? If you have a high
intake of tomatoes and fruits such as pink grapefruit or watermelon that
have a high lycopene content, you may not need additional lycopene
supplements. However, if you shun tomato products, and hardly eat
watermelon,
pink grapefruit, or other lycopene containing foods, then a lycopene
supplement could be of benefit to you. To learn more about
lycopene.
Lycopene content of tomato and tomato
products per 100 grams.

mg; and Tomato Paste has about 30 mg. In contract, a raw tomato has
about 3 mg per 100 grams of fruit.
