Synthetic Moleculues Could Add Spice To Fight Against Cancer
Scientists birth found that lycopene molecules in tomatoes that ar combined with fat and subjected to intense heat during processing are restructured in a way that appears to ease their transport into the blood stream and tissue. The tomato is the primary food source of lycopene, a naturally occurring pigment joined to the prevention of cancer and other inveterate diseases.
In its standard structure in the average red tomato, the lycopene atom is set out in a linear configuration. That structure seems to hinder the molecule's absorption through intestinal walls and into the roue, said Steven Schwartz, an investigator in Ohio State's Comprehensive Cancer Center and a professor of intellectual nourishment science and technology at Ohio State.
Meanwhile, most of the lycopene that is found circulating in human blood is configured in a bent molecular form. This means that either the human body somehow transforms lycopene molecules through reactions that have so far to be identified, or that the bent molecular structures of lycopene are much more than likely to be engrossed into the blood and transported to tissue - a necessary step in preventing disease.
Assuming the latter is genuine, Schwartz and colleagues take in devised a way to process red tomatoes - the form preferred by American consumers - into a sauce that contains bent molecular forms of lycopene. A clinical tryout conducted in collaboration with Steven Clinton, a medical oncologist and physician scientist in Ohio State's Comprehensive Cancer Center, showed that people had more lycopene in their blood after eating the specially processed sauce than they did after eating regular red River tomato sauce.
Schwartz described the research at the American Chemical Society meeting in Philadelphia.
In the food skill world, processing gets a bad tap for its tendency to deplete vegetables of nutrients, change their color and often negatively affect how they taste.
"Instead, here is a sheath where processing is positive in terms of enhancing absorption of lycopene," aforementioned Schwartz.
Lycopene belongs to a family of antioxidants called carotenoids, which give certain fruits and vegetables their distinctive colors. Carotenoids' antioxidant properties are associated with protecting cells and regulating cell ontogeny and death, all of which play a role in multiple disease processes.
In its natural state, lycopene in a red tomato is in what is called an all-trans constellation, characterized by its running form. The molecular structure of lycopene circulating in human rakehell is in what is called a cis-isomer configuration, or a bent form. The chemical properties ar the same - only the form differs.
"What we have ground is we can take the red tomato molecular form of lycopene and by processing it and heating it in combination with added oil, we can change the embodiment of the molecule so it is configured in this knack form," Schwartz said.
Heat is essential to the sue, but so is adding some productive, Schwartz said. In late work, he and colleagues determined that consuming fat and carotenoids simultaneously improved absorption of lycopene and other compounds, but the scientists weren't sure incisively why.
When humans eat fats, or lipids, the body produces midget droplets of fat called lipid micelles during digestion that ar easily taken up through the intestinal wall and absorbed into the bloodstream.
Continuing research has led Schwartz to speculate that lycopene in its linear form tends to stack and become crystalised, which lowers, but does not reject, its absorption potential. But the knack forms of lycopene are able to more easily find their way into the lipid micelles during digestion, and increasing amounts of the antioxidant in that variety are more likely to be transported to the blood along with the fats.
Taking all this into consideration, the researchers processed red tomatoes into deuce kinds of sauce: a sauce rich in cis-lycopene, the bent configuration, and a sauce containing mostly all-trans-lycopene, the linear form. Both sauces were flavored similarly and initially heated using the same methods. Corn oil was added to both sauces as well. But the sauce designed to produce lycopene in the bent molecular forms was subjected to a second base round of heating at 260 degrees Fahrenheit for 40 minutes. The resulting sauce contained nine times more cis-isomers than the regularly processed sauce.
Twelve people participated in a study of the sauces, and all ate both kinds of sauce over the course of the study. After each meal, researchers took samples of participants' blood seven times during the following 9 1/2 hours to measure lycopene levels. The scientists ill-used a special testing method to dissect lycopene levels in the blood associated only with the tomato sauce repast, avoiding whatever other possible sources of those compounds in the bloodstream.
Research participants had a 55 per centum increase in total lycopene absorption after eating the specially processed sauce when compared to their lycopene blood levels after eating the regular sauce. This finding reinforced the anticipation that the bent forms of lycopene are more easily absorbed into human blood, Schwartz said.
Details of this field of study were first gear published in the British Journal of Nutrition in 2007. Additional clinical trials are ongoing.
Schwartz said most currently available commercial products don't check the bent forms of lycopene molecules. But he noted that some home cooking practices might be able to produce the same results as the special processing method he and colleagues designed.
"Some people like to cook tomato sauce for prolonged periods, sometimes reheating it day after mean solar day, because it tastes better on the second and third day. They bring fat by using oil or meat, and that's going to start to induce cis-isomers of lycopene if productive is present and the cooking continues," Schwartz said. "So it's possible people could induct this process and increment lycopene absorption by procedure food preparation procedures, as well."
Much of this research is supported by the Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center Competitive Grants Program, the National Center of Research Resources of the National Institutes of Health, the National Cancer Institute, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture Initiative for Future Agricultural & Food Systems.

MTV Elects LANE FOUR to Rock Shoreline Before Linkin Park and Chris Cornell on the Projekt Revolution Tour
winners LANE FOUR will be one of three bands that won the opportunity to
rock the stage at Shoreline Amphitheater this Saturday. The summer's
premier stone tour, Projekt Revolution, comes to San Francisco featuring
Linkin Park, Chris Cornell, The Bravery, Atreyu, Hawthorne Heights, and a
host of other headline-worthy acts including LANE FOUR.
LANE FOUR is fronted by 2 remarkable young alternative hard rock
artists: lead isaac M. Singer, LAYLA BROOKLYN ALLMAN, is the 15-year old girl of
Rock n Roll Hall of Famer, GREGG ALLMAN, of the legendary Allman Brothers
Band. The fire that burns in the family genes is alive and kicking in this
improbable, attractive blonde powerhouse! Equally as vibrant and singular is
15-year old NICK LOIACONO whose dynamic, scorching and technically creative
guitar work is a howling compliment to this unmistakably professional thomas Young
band.
"When we started this tour, our approximation [was] to showcase groups that were
doing something revolutionary, something original, something different,"
says Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park. Shinoda says the tour isn't just for
Linkin Park fans, and he loves how fans of other bands can derive to it,
check out the other acts and find out about unexampled music. He adds, "we hope
that some day, fans toilet look support and say, 'Oh, I remember the first clock time I
saw skunk; this is a ring that I knew was going to be doing something
in truth great and different in the future.'"
LANE FOUR is that kind of dance orchestra. It is four 15-year olds with a love
for new alternative hard rock music, each with a different musical taste
and a unique elbow room to blend them, creating a profound that is their have. LAYLA
ALLMAN fronts the dance band with the hard driving vocals one would expect from a
much older singer. "I am very excited to be performing during the Projekt
Revolution Tour and to get photo with new fans, it is so cool that MTV
and Verizon came up with this idea for new bands and fans to connect," said
LAYLA ALLMAN, daughter of Southern Rocker Legend GREGG ALLMAN. "I remember
being 15, and what my first band sounded like, I bid we were as pixilated as
LANE FOUR," stated GREGG ALLMAN.
Here in San Francisco, MTV2 encouraged over 150 bands participation in
the contest that allowed the help of family, friends and fans to vote
on-line to be considered for the opening slot. MTV then chose three bands
among the 12 top vote getters to perform at the concert, including LANE
FOUR. Their live shows are senior high school energy that compliments their sound and
their youth.
LANE FOUR Band Members include:
-- Layla Allman -- Vocals, Keys,
-- Austin Dunn -- Bass Guitar
-- Nick Loiacono -- Lead Guitar
-- Eric Perkins -- Drums
Linkin Park's brainchild, Projekt Revolution defiantly embraces the
tenets originally espoused by Lollapalooza -- melodic revolution, artistic
camaraderie and genre diversity. "To portion Shoreline with a band that has
sold o'er 40 one thousand thousand albums general and has earned deuce GRAMMY(R) Awards
is a majuscule experience at 15 long time old," says Nick Loiacono, Lead Guitarist
for LANE FOUR. He adds, "their approach to a touring festival that is not
one-sided -- it's a alloy tour, alternative tour and a rap tour all
mixed together and we are a little part of the flavor of what today's youth
can bring to the stage...'New Alternative Hard Rock.'"
The Shoreline Amphitheater provides a unique open air atmosphere and a
full day of enjoyment for fans of all genres. LANE FOUR rocks the stage at
1:00 PM on the Revolution Stage. There will be two stages of amusement,
meet and greets, creative person signings, hearing stations and more.
The Projekt Revolution Tour is sponsored by Verizon Wireless -- Verizon
Wireless is a joint venture of Verizon Communications and Vodafone.
About MTV2 "Rock the Revolution"
MTV2 Bay Area and Comcast challenged local artists to compete for the
once in a life-time shot to open Linkin Park's Projekt Revolution. 159
artists entered and afterwards more than 890,000 votes, the fans declared their
top 12 picks. MTV2's euphony panel reviewed each finalist and afterwards much
deliberation, they induce selected the 3 bands to represent the Bay Area on
the Revolution stage at the Shoreline Amphitheatre on August 9th.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs new tracks are inspired by cats
The band recently moved to the country from the city to continue work on tracks for their new album - the follow-up to their acclaimed 2006 record 'Show Your Bones'.
A message on the band's blog explained their reason for escaping the hectic city life and said: "One thing the city don't have that the country got is SPACE and there has been plenty of spacing out in the studio as of late."
The trio also revealed one of their current, and past, inspirations - kittens.
The blog continued: "Fuzzy soft muses aka kittens have played a major role in the writing process of YYY's current and past records. 'Show Your Bones' was written in Sam Spiegel's home studio amidst the birth of a litter of kittens, little gold lions scrambling around."
The band added there is one particular kitten, called Squeaker, who is inspiring their third record.
The group said of the kitten: "We've watched him grow before our very eyes from a blind and helpless little thing into a frisky and fierce little beauty - much like the tunes we're writing."

Madonna - Bandas Father Speaks Out Over Madonna Adoption
The Malawian father of MADONNA's adopted son DAVID BANDA has spoken of his heartbreak at letting his son go - insisting he didn't "abandon" the tot.
The pop superstar found David, now two, in a Malawian orphanage in 2006, and started the official adoption process - taking him back to live with her in Britain.
And Yohane Banda insists he never wanted to leave the youngster in an orphanage, but severe poverty forced him to take drastic action.
Banda lost two children in childbirth and his wife died soon after David was born, and he feared he would struggle to survive as a single father.
He says, "After losing two sons, I really wanted David to survive. It isn't true that we abandoned him."
And when news broke that a "rich white woman" was interested in adopting the tot, Banda was forced to agree it would be the best thing for the child.
He adds, "We sat down as a family to consider it. After banging our heads together we thought this was good for David so we readily agreed."
Madonna and her husband Guy Ritchie face a final adoption hearing in the country later this week (07May08) where she is expected to be granted official custody of David Banda.

American Idol - Onerepublic Star Sang At Idol Finale With Injury
ONEREPUBLIC frontman RYAN TEDDER struggled his way through his performance at last week's (ends23May08) AMERICAN IDOL finale - because he was in agony from a torn Achilles tendon.
The rocker hobbled on crutches down the red carpet at California's Nokia Theatre L.A. Live last Wednesday (21May08), before taking to the stage with his bandmates to perform their hit song Apologize with finalist David Archuleta.
But, despite calling his injury "so painful" and one of "the worst things" he had ever experienced, Tedder managed to crack a joke about the accident.
He quipped to MTV.com: "I was on the beach, and these baby seals were getting clubbed, and I ran up and stopped the clubbing, and they clubbed me."

Joe Magistro took care of the drum parts, then node appearances from ex-Crowes keyboardist Eddie Hawrsch and BR5-49's Donnie Herron were added, and the album was done.

Mendes drops drama for laughs
The film will follow a young couple as they travel across the US in search of the perfect place to raise their baby.
The 'American Beauty' director is currently finishing 'Revolutionary Road' for DreamWorks, starring his wife Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio. The drama is due for release at the end of this year.
