Effect of Tomato Juice in Tris-Yolk-Citrate Extender onRefrigeration Preservation of Cauda Epididymal Spermatozoa of Buck

The study was carried out on the preservation of epididymal spermatozoa of buck at refrigerated temperature without and with tomato juice as a supplement in Tris egg yolk citrate extender. The eight pairs of testicles including epididymis (total 16) from slaughtered bucks were collected within 2–4 hours of their slaughter. Sperms collected from cauda epididymis were preserved at refrigerated temperature up to 48 hours in tris egg yolk citrate extender at 300 million sperm/mL with different concentration of tomato juice (0%, 4%, 6%, 8%, and 10%) and the physical characteristics of spermatozoa were assessed to know the effect of tomato juice (Tj). The mean dead, abnormal and HOST non-reacted spermatozoa increased significantly (p less than0.05) at every 12-hour intervals of preservation in the dilutor without and with different concentration of tomato juice. Tomato juice exerted an adverse effect on physical characteristics of sperm during refrigeration preservation. All the three sperm traits studied however revealed significant (p less thaN 0.01) positive interrelationships with correlations of 0.31 to 0.72.

Effects of tomato juice on the pharmacokinetics of CYP3A4-substrate drugs

We previously demonstrated that tomato juice (TJ) contains potent mechanism-based inhibitor(s) of CYP3A4. In this study, we investigated the effects of TJ and grapefruit juice (GFJ) on the pharmacokinetics of the CYP3A4-substrate drugs, nifedipine (NFP) and midazolam (MDZ), in male Wistar rats. Oral administration of GFJ 90 min before the intraduodenal administration of NFP or MDZ increased the area under the concentration–time curves (AUCs) of NFP and MDZ by 32.4% and 89.4%, respectively. TJ increased MDZ blood concentrations and AUC after intraduodenal MDZ administration; however, it had no effect on NFP. When MDZ and NFP were intravenously administered, GFJ significantly increased the AUC of MDZ, but only slightly increased that of NFP. In contrast, TJ only slightly increased the AUC of MDZ. These results suggest that, similar to GFJ, TJ influences the pharmacokinetics of CYP3A4-substrate drugs; however, it may be a drug-dependent partial effect.

THE AMELIORATIVE EFFECT OF TOMATO JUICE ON THE FERTILITY OF HYPERTENSIVE MALE ALBINO RATS

Red ripened tomatoes have a powerful antioxidant effects. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the protective effect of tomato juice on the fertility as a one of the major complications of the hypertension in male albino rats. The present study investigated the effect of tomato juice, rich with lycopene on some biomarkers of male reproductive functions in hypertensive rats induced by N-Nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME). Forty male rats divided into four groups, the first one served as a control, the 2ⁿ group received orally a daily dose of tomato juice (2ml/kg b.w) for 4 weeks, the 3rd group received a daily dose of L-NAME (80 mg/kg b.w.) and the 4th group received a daily dose of tomato juice and L-NAME as the 2ⁿ and 3rd groups. The data recorded a significant increase in systolic blood pressure as well as sperm abnormality, but a significant decrease in total testosterone, free testosterone, sperm count, and sperm viability in L-NAME treated rats group. Concomitantly, a significant decrease in the activities of enzymatic antioxidant superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GPX), in addition to the non-enzymatic antioxidant glutathione (GSH) concntration was recorded in the same group, while a significant increase in end product of lipid peroxidation malondaldehyde (MDA) was noticed. On the other hand, the most of these parameters seemed to be normalized by oral administration of tomato juice, which indicating the ameliorative effect of tomato juice against L-NAME induced hypertension in male rats.

Effect of Tomato Juice on Electrochemical Properties of Brass, Galvanized and Stainless Steel

Tomatoes (Lycopersicon esculentum), is a fleshy berry regarded as very popular perishable fruit as well as vegetable grown throughout the tropical and temperate regions of the world. This research work investigated the effect of tomato juice on the electrochemical properties of brass, galvanized and stainless steel using potentiostatic polarization method and weight loss technique at room temperature. The samples were cut into sizes, 2 cm by 2 cm for galvanized and stainless steel, while brass a cylindrical shape of 2.5 mm diameter was cut into 5 cm height, the cut metallic samples was weighed using a sensitive weighing balance and recorded. The pH of the tomato juice was measured and the cut metallic samples were immersed into the containers filled with tomato juice and exposed for a period of 30 days. Weight losses of samples and pH of the tomato juice were determined at an interval of 5 days and the corrosion rates were evaluated. The results showed that brass and stainless steel had very low corrosion rates which decreased with time. High corrosion attack was observed on the galvanized steel and this is shown by the high corrosion current density and corrosion rate obtained on the polarization curve showing active corrosion reaction properties. The pH of the tomato progressed to neutrality within five days and to alkalinity at the end of the thirty days test for galvanized steel while the pH of the tomato juice was less acidic at the end of the thirty days test for both brass and stainless steel. Stainless steel was confirmed as best storage material for tomato juice in this study.Keywords: Corrosion, electrochemical, potentiostatic polarization, weight loss, tomato, metal

Administration of Tomato Juice or Aqueous Components of Tomato Reduces Fatigue Induced by Acute Treadmill Exercise

Physical exercise is a good means of enhancing and maintaining health. However, many people struggle to make exercise be a habit, in part because of the associated fatigue. The present study investigated the effects of tomato juice on fatigue induced by exercise in humans and mice. A study of 10 healthy men and women indicated that drinking tomato juice suppressed post-exercise increases in rated perceived exertion, a subjective fatigue indicator. In mice, a single administration of tomato juice significantly attenuated exercise-induced fatigue, as measured by locomotor activity and blood transforming growth factor β and corticosterone levels. The active substances in tomatoes, which were among the aqueous components as of tomato juice supernatant, showed the same anti-fatigue effects as whole tomato juice. Moreover, these effects were mimicked by water supplemented with the aqueous components (i.e., sugars, organic acids, and amino acids) and were likely exerted by two or more of these components. Our results suggest that consuming tomato juice prior to or during an exercise session can reduce post-exercise fatigue, which could encourage more individuals to incorporate a regular exercise regimen into their daily routine.

Effect of tomato juice (Lycopersicum esculentum) on LDL cholesterol level of white rat

Al Mokhtar MU, Ariningrum D, Kustiwinarni. 2009. Effect of tomato juice (Lycopersicum esculentum) on LDL cholesterol level of white rat. Biofarmasi 7: 22-30. The prevalence of Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) over the world is very high. Atherosclerosis due to hypercholesterolemia is a predisposing factor of CHD. The role of high dietary of tomato juice is associated with a lowered LDLcholesterol. Lycopene and naringenin of tomato juice will decrease LDL cholesterol by inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase and upregulating LDL cholesterol receptor in liver. The study aimed to determine the effect of tomato juice on LDL cholesterol in white rat, Rattus norvegicus. The study was an experimental laboratory with pre and post-test controlled group design. Thirty-four adult male Wistar rats, 3 months in age and weighing 180-200 grams, were used in the research. They were divided into two groups, group 1 (KI) as control and group 2 (KII) as treatment group of tomato juice, with 17 rats for each group. They were allowed with standard diet for 7 days. During pretest period for 2 weeks, KI and KII were given hypercholesterolemic fed 100 g/BW ad libitum (mixed diet which consisted of standard diet 88.5%, coconut oil 1%, lard oil 10% and 0.5% crystalline cholesterol), egg yolk force-fed by gastric tube 7.5 ml/BW and PTU 0.1% ad libitum. During post-test period for 2 weeks, KI was given the same intervention with pretest period and aquadest force-fed 30 ml/BW as placebo by gastric tube, whereas KII was given the same intervention with KI and tomato juice forcefed 30 ml/BW by gastric tube. The measurement of the level of LDL cholesterol was conducted by using spectrophotometer. Statistical analysis was performed with SPSS Windows 13. Student’s t-paired analysis was used for variable that normally distributed. Wilcoxon test was used for variable that skewed. Both statistical analyses were used to determine significant differences, the values of p<0.05 were considered statistically significant. The effect of tomato juice by 30 ml/BW on LDL cholesterol for 2 weeks in Rattus norvegicus was determined. The result of t-paired test obtained showed a significant difference (p<0.05) of LDL cholesterol level before and after treatment on KII. Based on the study, there was an effect of tomato juice 30 ml/BW on LDL cholesterol for 2 weeks in Rattus norvegicus.

Tomato juice inhibits adenosine deaminase activity in human prostate tissue from patient with prostate cancer

Investigation of possible effects of tomato juice on adenosine deaminase (ADA) activity in prostate tissue from cancer patients was aimed in this study. Ten prostate tissues from patients with pathologically proven localised prostate cancer (Gleason scores 4 to 7) were used in the study. In the tissues, ADA activities with and without preincubation with different amounts of tomato juice were performed. Tomato juice causes significant inhibition on ADA activity in the prostate tissues. Protective effect proposed for tomato against prostate cancer may result from its inhibition potential on ADA.

Inhibitory Effect of Tomato Juice on Rat Urinary Bladder Carcinogenesis After N-Butyl-N-(4-hydroxybutyl)Nitrosamine Initiation

The effects of tomato juice on urinary bladder carcinogenesis were studied in male Fischer 344 rats initiated with N-butyl-N-(4-hydroxybutyl)nitrosamine (BBN) in rats. The animals (6 weeks old) were given 0.05% BBN in their drinking water for 8 weeks, followed by diluted tomato juice for 12 weeks, and killed at 20 weeks after the beginning of the experiment. Lycopene concentrations in the livers of rats given tomato juice were elevated. Histopathological analysis of urinary bladder lesions revealed the numbers, but not incidences, of urinary bladder transitional cell carcinomas (TCCs) to be decreased in the group given tomato juice. No influence on the incidence of simple and nodullopapillary hyperplasias, invasion or differentiation of TCC was noted. These results indicate that tomato juice, presumably the contained lycopene and other anti-oxidants in combination, exerts an inhibitory effect on the development of TCCs in the rat urinary bladder.

Effects of Tomato Juice on Seed Germination and Seedling Growth1

Abstract Tomato seeds were more responsive than wheat or lettuce seeds to the presence of an inhibitor in the juice of tomato fruits. Seed germination and seedling growth decreased with increasing concentrations of juice. Inhibition of seed germination in 20% juice with an osmotic concentration of less than 0.1 M was significantly less than in 0.1 M glucose or mannitol with 0.01 M citric acid at pH 4.4. The inhibitor in tomato juice was thermostable, but the effect decreased with prolonged storage at -20°C. There were cultivar differences in the amount of inhibitor present in ripe tomato fruits.
