Solution

Lycopene may reduce cardiovascular disease risk by:

  • Decreasing LDL oxidation
  • Increasing cellular LDL receptor activity

Lycopene does not increase liver cholesterol synthesis or decrease HDL cholesterol levels. In fact, increasing liver cholesterol synthesis and decreasing HDL cholesterol levels could potentially increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.
