Lycopene is a member of the antioxidant family and is one of the most widely tested and trialled antioxidants. PSA (Prostate  Specific Antigen) readings determine the state of health of a  prostate gland in a male. Here is some information from a study conduct in the US. This information is attributed:

‘In this study, which was presented at the annual meeting of the American Chemical Society (August 2001), 32 mostly African American patients who had been diagnosed with prostate cancer and were awaiting radical prostatectomy were put on diets that included enough tomato sauce to provide 30mg/day of lycopene for three weeks. Prostate cancer is more frequent and serious among African Americans than among Caucasians.

Mean serum PSA concentrations fell by 17.5%, while a measure of oxidative status fell by 21.3%. DNA damage in the cancer cells fell by 40% after three weeks, of which author Phyllis E Bowen says, “We don’t know whether that’s good or bad.” Most important, high concentration of lycopene in prostate tissues resulted in a nearly three-fold increase in programmed cell damage among cancer cells, which is a good thing’.
