BACKGROUND
The putative beneficial effects of an increased consumption of fruit and vegetables have been associated with antioxidant nutrients. However, the effect of fruit and vegetable consumption on the overall antioxidant status in humans is unclear.
OBJECTIVE
The objective of this study was to investigate whether a diet rich in fruit and vegetables would affect the antioxidant capacity of human plasma.
DESIGN
Thirty-six healthy nonsmokers resided in a metabolic research unit and…

Effects of enhanced consumption of fruit and vegetables on plasma antioxidant status and oxidative resistance of LDL in smokers supplemented with fish oil
- MedicineEuropean Journal of Clinical Nutrition

Fish oil reduced the oxidative stability of plasma and LDL, but the effects were partially offset by the increased consumption of fruit and vegetables.
The importance of dietary antioxidants on plasma antioxidant capacity and lipid peroxidation in vivo in middle-aged men
- Medicine
- 2006
The results indicate that non-enzymic lipid peroxidation in vivo, measured as F2-isoprostanes in plasma, is not easily affected by the diet, supporting the importance of a balanced diet rich in various antioxidants.

The quantification of nutrient intake is not an adequate predictor of plasma antioxidant capacity in individuals over fifty and a positive correlation was found in most cases, but none of the correlations was statistically significant.
Correlation between plasma levels of carotenoid and oxidized low density lipoproteins: A short human intervention study
- Biology, Medicine
- 2016
The increase of plasma carotenoids after dietary treatment for two weeks is associated with a protective effect against lipid peroxidation of lipoproteins, suggesting that lutein may play a role in the Protective effect against oxidation of LDL.

It is concluded that the additional consumption of carotenoid-rich vegetable products enhanced lipoprotein carotanoid concentrations, but only tomato juice reduced LDL oxidation in healthy men.

Data from the present meta-analysis show that plant-derived foods represent an effective strategy to enhance an endogenous antioxidant network in humans, particularly evident in the presence of oxidative stress-related risk factors.
Total Antioxidant Capacity and Its Dietary Sources and Seasonal Variability in Diets of Women with Different Physical Activity Levels
- Biology
- 2014
All of the women were characterised by seasonal variation in consumption, which was higher in active than inactive women, and the total antioxidant density of women diets and consumption of dietary sources of antioxidants was not related to their physical activity.

Iron added to FbM (FbMFe) showed induction of SOD activity, with no prooxidant effect, and could constitute a complementary source of iron, because the regular consumption of FbmFe may be beneficial for women of fertile age.
