| Study Title | Tomato-Soy Juice Reduces Inflammation and Modulates Urinary Metabolome in Adults with Obesity |
| Study Summary | Scope: Chronic, low-grade inflammation is a hallmark of many noncommunicable diseases, including obesity. Diets enriched with tomatoes and soy have been associated with better health outcomes in inflammation-related illnesses, with lycopene and isoflavones considered key bioactive components, respectively. On the basis that whole food combinations may exert greater effects than isolated phytochemicals, we examine the anti-inflammatory and metabolic effects of tomato-soy juice compared to a low carotenoid tomato juice control in obesity. Methods and results: In a randomized, crossover trial, 12 healthy adults with obesity were provided either tomato-soy juice (54 mg lycopene/d, 189.9 mg isoflavones/d) or a low carotenoid tomato juice (no isoflavones) daily for 4 weeks, then crossed over to the other treatment following a washout period. Plasma carotenoids, cytokines, and the urine metabolome were measured pre- and post-interventions. Plasma lycopene significantly increased by 2.48-fold after tomato-soy intake. IL-5, IL-12p70, and GM-CSF significantly decreased (P < 0.05), and TNF-alpha trended downward (P = 0.052) following tomato-soy. Soy isoflavones and their metabolites primarily distinguished post-tomato-soy urine profiles. Both interventions induced some shared metabolomic changes in the urine, indicating tomato-driven effects independent of lycopene. Conclusion: Tomato-soy intake reduced some pro-inflammatory cytokines and altered the urine metabolomic profile in adults with obesity, supporting future studies using this functional food product for other inflammation-related conditions. |

Collection:
| Collection ID: | CO004322 |
| Collection Summary: | At weeks 2, 6, 10, and 14, 24-hour urine samples were collected from the subjects into 4 L plastic jugs containing 10 g boric acid for preservation. Urine samples were then sub-sampled into smaller aliquots and stored at -80 degrees C. |
| Sample Type: | Urine |
| Storage Conditions: | -80℃ |
Treatment:
| Treatment ID: | TR004338 |
| Treatment Summary: | To test the effects of both lycopene and isoflavones on inflammation and the metabolome, subjects were instructed to consume diets with low levels of these phytochemicals for 2 weeks prior to the intervention. Counseling and a list of foods to avoid was provided to achieve a low lycopene/isoflavone diet. Following the 2-week washout period, subjects were randomized to receive 360 mL (two 180 mL cans) of either a soy-enriched, high lycopene tomato (tomato-soy) juice or a low carotenoid, yellow tomato juice (control) every day for 4 weeks. Followed by a 4-week washout period (low lycopene and isoflavone diet), participants began their second 4-week intervention consuming the other juice daily (Figure 2). At weeks 2, 6, 10, and 14, 24-hour urine samples were collected from the subjects into 4 L plastic jugs containing 10 g boric acid for preservation. Urine samples were then sub-sampled into smaller aliquots and stored at -80 degrees C. This study was approved by Chesapeake IRB (Pro00024511) and is registered on clinicaltrials.gov as NCT03783013. |
Sample Preparation:
| Sampleprep ID: | SP004335 |
| Sampleprep Summary: | After thawing in cold water, urine was centrifuged for 10 min at 21,130 x g. Urine osmolality was measured by freezing point depression using an osmometer (Advanced Osmometer Model 3300; Norwood, MA, USA). To account for differences in urine volumes and hydration level between subjects/timepoints, each sample was normalized to 100 milliosmoles with water. Normalized urine samples were added to new sample tubes containing methanol and acetonitrile, so that the final mixture was the injection solvent 2:1:1 ACN/MeOH/H2O and centrifuged at 21,130 x g for 5 min to pellet any insoluble material. Process blanks were prepared using water following the same steps. Quality control (QC) samples were prepared by pooling 100 microliters from each normalized urine sample. |

| Chromatography Summary: | For each analysis, sample order was randomized, with QC samples in every 7th position (i.e., approximately every 1.5-2 h) to monitor instrument variability throughout the duration of the experimental run. Three process blanks were queued at the beginning of each run to account for residues and contamination from extraction materials and remove them from downstream analyses. For RPLC-MS analysis, 20 microliters was injected onto a 2.1 x 100 mm x 1.8 um Waters HSS column (Milford, MA, USA) kept at 40 degrees C. |
