The World Health Organization (W.H.O). defines oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs) as "A histologically proven lesion that is associated with a significantly increased risk of malignant transformation."Oral leukoplakia is the most commonly occurring oral potentially malignant disorder.

LycoComfort™ is a dietary supplement containing tomato extract and phytosterols, ingredients that have been associated with relief of symptoms associated with general prostate discomfort and Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS). The purpose of this study is to evaluate changes in these symptoms after

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

The rise of metabolomics along with different platforms such as liquid chromatography mass spectrometers (LC-MS) have allowed the assessment of thousands of metabolites simultaneously in biological samples and the recognition of patterns that may constitute a fingerprint of the intake of different

Prostate cancer (PC) afflicts millions of men worldwide. In Taiwan, around 5,000 men are diagnosed as PC while 1,200 men die of the disease each year. However, thousands of Taiwanese men may have been over-treated for their insignificant PCs. The above situations signify the unmet clinical need

Study Objectives: Chronic inflammation underpins the development of numerous chronic diseases that contribute significantly to disability and mortality in the United States (US). Of particular interest, as it relates to inflammation, is diet which is a strong moderator of systemic inflammation.

Many epidemiological studies have shown that nutrients or elements from tomato or other plants, including lycopene and multi-carotenoids, may reduce the risk of prostate cancer, especially those of lethal cancer. Studies have also shown that multi-carotenoids may reduce serum PSA levels in prostate

The oil palm Elaeis guineesis, is the source of palm oil - the 'tropical golden oil'. Malaysia is the world's largest exporter of this golden oil. Triglycerides constitute the major component of crude palm oil, with smaller proportions of diglycerides and monoglycerides. The oil also contains other

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,

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To conduct a randomized, three-arm pilot clinical trial to determine compliance and safety of daily consumption of tangerine tomato juice or red tomato juice. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To quantify total carotenoids, total lycopene (LYC), cis-LYC, trans-LYC, phytoene,

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To define the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) response rate according to the criteria of Bubley, et al. (>50% reduction from baseline) in subjects treated with a combination of docetaxel and lycopene. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I.To determine the objective response rate (ORR)

Blood-pressure reading of 140/90 mmHg (systolic/diastolic pressure) are typically regarded as having high blood pressure as defined in the most recent guidelines. From a physiological perspective, the regulation of blood pressure is a complicated process involving different biological systems and a
