“…For instance, in a study, hypertensive subjects showed a remarkable decrease in blood pressure after the 12-week consumption of vegetable juice [34]. Furthermore, a pilot study was conducted to discover whether blood pressure was influenced by drinking fresh carrot juice, and results showed that SBP decreased ( p = 0.06), but not DBP [51]. …”

“…In addition, according to a meta-analysis, consuming fruit juice showed no significant effects on TC, HDL-C, and LDL-C in adults [46]. Furthermore, the plasma cholesterol, triglycerides, apo A, apo B, LDL, and HDL were not affected by drinking fresh carrot juice [51]. …”

“…In addition, blood glucose was dramatically reduced by the pomegranate juice, but not triacylglycerols and cholesterol levels [74]. Additionally, in the study of Potter et al [51], the plasma total antioxidant capacity was significantly increased ( p < 0.05) and the plasma malondialdehyde production was decreased ( p < 0.05) after consuming 16 fl oz of fresh carrot juice daily for three months. Furthermore, in the study of Foroudi et al [54], consuming orange juice markedly upregulated the total plasma antioxidant capacity, and remarkably reduced lipid peroxidation.…”

Many studies have indicated that consumption of vegetables and fruits are positively related to lower incidence of several chronic noncommunicable diseases. Although composition of fruit and vegetable juices is different from that of the edible portion of fruits and vegetables, they contain polyphenols and vitamins from fruits and vegetables. Drinking vegetable and fruit juices is very popular in many countries, and also an efficient way to improve consumption of fruits and vegetables. The studies showed that fruit and vegetable juices affect cardiovascular risk factors, such as lowering blood pressure and improving blood lipid profiles. The main mechanisms of action included antioxidant effects, improvement of the aspects of the cardiovascular system, inhibition of platelet aggregation, anti-inflammatory effects, and prevention of hyperhomocysteinemia. Drinking juices might be a potential way to improve cardiovascular health, especially mixtures of juices because they contain a variety of polyphenols, vitamins, and minerals from different fruits and vegetables. This review summarizes recent studies on the effects of fruit and vegetable juices on indicators of cardiovascular disease, and special attention is paid to the mechanisms of action.

“…Carrot juice not only contain many important dietary components such as vitamins, minerals and fiber, but also are considered as one of the richest sources of bioactive compounds that benefit human health (Demir et al, 2004). Dral intake of carrot juice also displays other beneficial physiological effects including reduced DNA damage, increased levels of antioxidants and reduced inflammation (Potter et al, 2011).…”

Effect of ultrasound treatment on carrot juice was investigated through measuring pH, electrical conductivity, viscosity, visual color, total soluble solids, total sugars, total carotenoids, ascorbic acid contents and microbial load. No significant effect (p>0.05) of ultrasound treatment on pH of carrot juice was observed. Electrical conductivity, viscosity and color values gradually increased (p<0.05) with treatment time increase. Total soluble solids, total sugars, total carotenoids and ascorbic acid contents of carrot juice were significantly improved (p<0.05) due to ultrasound treatment. Moreover, significant decrease (p<0.05) in microbial load of sonicated carrot juice was observed. Results from present study suggested that ultrasound treatment could improve quality and safety of carrot juice.

“…For example, drinking carrot juice induces antioxidant activity and reduces lipid peroxidation and can decrease levels of CVD risk markers in adults. In addition, carrot juice intake reduces systolic blood pressure [41]. Carrot juice consumption also improved glucose tolerance and hepatic structure and function, which might be associated with the effect of anthocyanins seen in metabolic syndrome [40,42].…”

Regular consumption of fruits and vegetables can help reduce the risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and its associated mortality. A diet rich in fruits and vegetables is thought to have cardioprotective effects, but the specific components of these foods that provide this protection are unclear. Antioxidants such as vitamin C, carotenoids, and polyphenols in fruits and vegetables likely contribute to the reduction in risk of CVD by minimizing cholesterol oxidation in blood vessel walls. Meanwhile, cardioprotective effects afforded by the carotenoids lycopene, α-carotene, β-carotene, β-cryptoxanthin, lutein, and zeaxanthin have been reported in many studies. Carotenoids are naturally occurring fat-soluble pigments that are present at high levels in tomatoes and carrots. Carotenoids play an important role in staving off atherosclerosis via antioxidant activities that reduce lipid peroxidation in low-density lipoproteins. Lycopene reduces endothelin-1 gene expression by suppressing generation of reactive oxygen species and inducing heme oxygenase-1 expression in human endothelial cells. Thus, carotenoids may mitigate endothelial dysfunction by promoting direct antioxidative effects and inducing expression of several genes. Structural and functional differences among carotenoids may explain their unique biologic activities. In this review, the roles of carotenoids in relation to their influence on vascular endothelial functions and cardioprotective effects are discussed.
