The liver is the largest internal organ located in the upper right portion of the abdomen, beneath your diaphragm and above your stomach.
The liver not only plays a critical role to filter the blood coming from the intestine before passing them to other parts of the body but also protects our body against toxin by detoxifying chemicals and metabolizes drugs.
Cholesterol is a waxy substance produced by the liver. In a moderate amount, it helps to improve the gastrointestinal tract in food digestion, builds strong cell membranes, produces vitamin D and steroid hormones.
The healthy ratio of low-density lipoprotein (LDL)/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) is ant numbers that are less than 4.
Hyperlipidemia is a medical condition of abnormally high levels of cholesterol and fat in the bloodstream.
High blood cholesterol is the most common cause of hyperlipidemia. According to statistics provided by the CDC, more than 12% of adults age 20 and older are living with high blood cholesterol with a total cholesterol higher than 240 mg/dL. and more than 18% had high-density lipoprotein (HDL, or “good”) cholesterol levels less than 40 mg/dL.
In other words, hyperlipidemia has a high prevalent ratio that affects over 100 million Americans and the condition is increasing at an alarming rate due to overweight and obesity.
Cerebral vessels or brain vessels include anterior and posterior segments that supply blood to the brain.
A neuron or nerve cell made of a cell body (also called soma), dendrites and an axon, is a cell in the nervous system that carries electrical impulses.
Neurons are core components of the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves that play an essential role to process and transmit information.
Tomato is red, edible fruit, genus Solanum, belonging to family Solanaceae, native to South America. Because of its health benefits, the tomato is grown worldwide for the commercial purpose
and often in the greenhouse.
Tomatoes provide about 80% of the lycopene in the world diet. In plants, lycopene protects the host against excessive photodamage and performs various functions in photosynthesis.
On finding a potential compound for the treatment of diseases associated with the vessel and neuron damage, researchers examined the effects of lycopene isolated from tomato on vessel and neuron damage in the brain against hyperlipidemia.
Furthermore, the serum lycopene concentration was positively correlated with the expression of Claudin-5 associated with the tight junctions that provide one mechanism of cell to cell adhesion and the number of neurons in hippocampal CA1 and CA3.
Collectively, researchers said, "These results suggested an inverse U-shape relation between dose and serum concentration of lycopene, and intermediate doses were most effective to protect cerebral vessels and neurons from being damaged by hyperlipidemia.".
Taken altogether, lycopene found abundantly may be considered supplements for the prevention and treatment of hyperlipidemia induced cerebral vessel and neuron impairment, pending on the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
