  28. Conclusions • Lycopene (Z)-isomers might be formed after absorption within the body • Smokers showed a different absorption time course for lycopene and a different isomer pattern compared to non-smokers • Further ongoing studies will look on the metabolism of lycopene more in detail (kinetic studies, oxidation products, etc.) "Tomatoes and cardiovascular diseases", Murcia, 14.10.2004 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29
