Five weeks of drinking 150 ml per day of tomato juice was associated with a reduction in levels of 8-dihydro-2-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG), a marker of oxidative DNA damage, in 15 untrained healthy subjects.
Results published in theNutrition Journalindicated that exercise increased 8-oxodG by between 42 and 84% during the control phase of the study, but tomato juice prevented any such increases.
It might be hypothesized that long term intake of tomato juice may reduce oxidative stress levels in
