Kagome Verifies That Tomato Juice Helps Prevent Emphysema Caused by Cigarette Smoke.Tokyo, Japan, Jan 16, 2006 - (JCN JCN Japan Corporate News JCN Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience JCN Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing JCN Journal of Christian Nursing JCN Job Control Number JCN Journal of Child Neurology JCN joint communications network (US DoD) ) - Japanese food conglomerate Kagome has confirmed an unique property of tomato juice in collaboration with the Juntendo University School of Medicine. The joint research group has observed how an intake of tomato juice affects senescence-accelerated mice (SAMs) that are chronically exposed to cigarette smoke by measuring mean linear intercepts (MLI MLI Mali (ISO Country code) MLI Multi-Layer Insulation MLI Member of the Landscape Institute MLI Multiple Link Interface (ODI) MLI Millstreet Industries Inc. ) and destructive index (DI). The results indicated that the intake of tomato juice helps suppress these indices. Accordingly, the group has concluded that the intake can play a role in preventing lung emphysema emphysema (ĕmfĭsē`mə), pathological or physiological enlargement or overdistention of the air sacs of the lungs. A major cause of pulmonary insufficiency in chronic cigarette smokers, emphysema is a progressive disease that commonly . Details of the research were published in the February 2006 issue of a US scientific journal, "American Journal of Physiology physiology (fĭzēŏl`əjē), study of the normal functioning of animals and plants during life and of the activities by which life is maintained and transmitted.
