Relation Between Fatty Acids and Oxidative Stress Markers With Cardiovascular Risk Factors in a Healthy Population

Assessment of plasma reference values of the complete fatty acid profile, oxysterols and alpha- and gamma-tocopherol in healthy italian subjects

The assessment of the complete fatty acids profile, oxysterols and vitamin E (alpha- and gamma-tocopherol) would reveal associations with components cardiovascular risk factors of the metabolic syndrome

Supplementation of Lycopene in Carotid Atheroma

Supplementation of Lycopene on Carotid Atheroma: Neovascularisation and Morphology (SOLANUM) Study

Magnetic resonance imiging (MRI) of the plaques will be performed with detailed assessment of plaque morphological parameters: fibrous cap, lipid rich necrotic core, intraplaque hemorrhage. Sheer stress and wall stress will be calculated using magnetic resonance data.

Serum levels of lycopene obtained through long-time supplementation with a tomato extract containing lycopene.

Amount of microeboli detected using bilateral middle cerebral artery (MCA) TCD monitoring (DWL, Germany, 2-MHz probe). TCD will be performed by a single investigator (KPB) for 1 hour

Serum levels of total cholesterol, low-denisty lipoproteins (LDL), oxidized-LDL (oxy-LDL), high-density lipoproteins (HDL), C-reactive protein (CRP) as biomarkers of atherosclerosis

Levels of blood circulating endothelial cells and endothelial progenitor cells will be measured as markers for endothelial injury

Plaque enhancement on dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI perfusion imaging using gadolinium-based contrast agent as a surrogate marker for plaque inflammation and neovascularisation.
