Novel 13C Carotenoids for Absorption and Metabolism Studies in Humans.
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Isotopically labeled lycopene, phytoene or phytofluene for Healthy. Completed, enrolled 12 participants across 1 site.
Detailed 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.
