AB Olive oil and lycopene are foods that have potent antioxidant activity. The objective wasto determine the effects of consumption of olive oil enriched with lycopene on oxidative stressbiomarkers in hypercholesterolemic subjects. We examined the effects of oil enriched with lycopeneextract daily intake during 1 month on plasma antioxidant capacity, lipids profile (triacylgycerols, totalcholesterol, cHDL; cLDL, ox-LDL), biomarkers of oxidative stress, and inflammatory markers relatedwith atherosclerosis risk (C-reactive protein (CRP), IL-6; sDC4L) in subjects hypercholesteremics(cholesterol > 220 mg/dL). In the group consuming olive oil-lycopene, significant increases (p < 0.05)in the levels of plasma lycopene concentration (0.146 ± 0.03 versus 0.202 ± 0.04 (µmol/L)), α-carotene(0.166 ± 0.064 versus 0.238 ± 0.07) and in β-carotene (0.493 ± 0.187 versus 0.713 ± 0.221) wereobserved. These results are linked with the increases of plasma antioxidants and decreases biomarkersof oxidative stress (carbonyl groups, malondialdehyde and 8-hydroxy-deoxiguanosine) observedin hypercholesterolemic group. In relation to lipid profile, a significant decrease was observedin the levels of ox-LDL (781 ± 302 versus 494 ± 200), remaining unchanged the levels of TG,cholesterol, HDL and LDL-c. Regarding inflammatory biomarkers, the levels of CRP and IL-6decreased significantly. The positive results obtained in this study support the use of olive oilenriched with lycopene to reduce the risk of coronary disease.
