Geneticists were able to change tomatoes, getting a versatile product that cleanses blood vessels and keeps the heart in working order
According to the Herald.ie, mice fed dried tomato added to fatty foods were less likely to experience narrowing of the arteries.
An increase in the indicators of "good cholesterol" - high-density lipoproteins was also recorded. But markers of inflammation, on the contrary, fell. The altered tomatoes produced a small peptide molecule that mimics the main high-density lipoprotein protein, ApoA-1.
Moreover, the mice themselves were also genetically modified to cause inflammation and atherosclerosis (accumulation of fat deposits on the walls of arteries) in them. Study leader Alan Fogelman of the University of California points out that the ApoA-1 peptide is now much easier to deliver to the body. Plus, it is more efficient.
This is the first time that scientists have succeeded in obtaining a herbal product that has the properties of a drug, with an element that does not require isolation or purification and is able to remain active while passing through the gastrointestinal tract.
