Abstract in brief
The study found that consuming carotenoid-rich vegetables, especially those high in lycopene and lutein, increased blood carotenoid levels and decreased visceral fat in obese Japanese men over 8 weeks.
All groups showed a reduction in visceral fat and CoQ10 oxidation rate, with waist circumference significantly decreasing only in the group with low lycopene and low lutein.
Gene expression analysis revealed changes only in the group with low lycopene and low lutein, suggesting that carotenoid intake may influence gene activity related to obesity and metabolic health.]
