| Lycopene Blood Pressure Randomized Trial | Background : Carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) is a well-established surrogate marker of subclinical atherosclerosis and a predictor of cardiovascular risk. | 1 | Cavero-Redondo I (2026) | Circulating Lycopene and β-Carotene Levels Are Inversely Associated with Carotid Intima-Media Thickness: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. |
| Lycopene Blood Pressure Randomized Trial | Carotenoids, particularly lycopene and β-carotene, have been proposed as protective antioxidants against vascular damage, but evidence from population-based studies is inconsistent. | 1 | Cavero-Redondo I (2026) | Circulating Lycopene and β-Carotene Levels Are Inversely Associated with Carotid Intima-Media Thickness: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. |
| Lycopene Blood Pressure Randomized Trial | Subgroup and meta-regression analyses explored potential modifiers, including sex and cardiovascular risk factors. | 1 | Cavero-Redondo I (2026) | Circulating Lycopene and β-Carotene Levels Are Inversely Associated with Carotid Intima-Media Thickness: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. |
| Lycopene Blood Pressure Randomized Trial | Tomato intake improved selective attention (concentration performance: +7.2 points; processing speed: +8.3 points) and associative memory (face-name matching: +0.8 points). | 2 | López-Solís R (2026) | Tomato Intake Improves Cognitive Performance and Modulates Functional Brain Networks in Healthy Adults: A Randomized Crossover Clinical Trial. |
| Lycopene Blood Pressure Randomized Trial | Resting-state fMRI revealed changes in brain networks, including reduced connectivity in frontoparietal and auditory networks, contrasting with reductions in the dorsal attention network during the control period. | 2 | López-Solís R (2026) | Tomato Intake Improves Cognitive Performance and Modulates Functional Brain Networks in Healthy Adults: A Randomized Crossover Clinical Trial. |
| Lycopene Blood Pressure Randomized Trial | These findings provide evidence that tomato consumption may support cognitive function and modulate brain connectivity in healthy middle-aged adults. | 2 | López-Solís R (2026) | Tomato Intake Improves Cognitive Performance and Modulates Functional Brain Networks in Healthy Adults: A Randomized Crossover Clinical Trial. |
| Lycopene Blood Pressure Randomized Trial | Tomatoes are the major dietary source of lycopene, a carotenoid that crosses the blood-brain barrier and exerts antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. | 2 | López-Solís R (2026) | Tomato Intake Improves Cognitive Performance and Modulates Functional Brain Networks in Healthy Adults: A Randomized Crossover Clinical Trial. |
