Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS) is a disease characterized by chronic widespread pain, along with muscle stiffness, sleep disorders, chronic fatigue, anxiety, depression, or neurocognitive deficiencies and autoimmune dysfunction. FMS prevalence is about 2% of the general population. Recently, a European
Consumption of foods containing the carotenoids lutein, lycopene, beta-carotene, as well as vitamin E, have been associated with lower risk of developing chronic diseases including cardiovascular disease, cancer, age related macular degeneration, and cognitive decline. While the parent compounds
Objective: The overall objective of this extended follow-up study is to provide data regarding the incidence of late age-related macular degeneration (AMD), cataract surgery and lung cancer in the approximately 1,200 AREDS2 study participants enrolled in the Follow-on study. The specific objectives
While being benefited from the results of previous studies, the sample size of the research was type 1 error performance α=0.05 and type 2 error performance β=0.20. The power of the test was taken as 1-β=0.80 and the power analysis was statistically made with NCCS PAS 11 program. 200 individuals
Carotenoids are a diverse group of natural-occurring fat-soluble pigments. Whilst over 600 different types have been characterised around 20 have been found in human tissue in the postprandial state, however, over 90% of these absorbed carotenoids are made up of 6 specific types (alpha-Carotene,
This study is conducted in diabetic patients who are given two distinct breakfasts: eggs and oatmeal in a crossover design. The investigators hypothesis is that eggs will not increase the risk for heart disease in this population when compared to oatmeal but they will more likely reduce inflammation
The Hass Avocado contains monounsaturated fat, lutein, glutathione, vitamin E, and other antioxidants. This study will determine whether avocado exerts a beneficial effect by inhibition of the absorption of malondialdehyde (MDA) which is a measure of lipid peroxidation. In a previous study, we
Safety/Primary Outcome Parameters:

Participants with a history of smoking, alcohol consumption, body mass index (BMI)≥30kg/m2, allergies, ocular diseases and participants taking vitamins or other food supplements containing lutein were excluded from the study.
BACKGROUND:
Low blood antioxidant concentrations are associated with several major degenerative diseases including cardiovascular disease and cancer. Animal, cellular and chemical experiments have elucidated biologic mechanisms consistent with antioxidant protection against several disease
