| 1. Leukocyte adhesion molecule expression: Peripheral lymphocyte and monocyte adhesion molecules on these cells will be marked with monoclonal antibodies (MAb) conjugated with fluorescein-isothiocyanate (FITC) and phycoerythrin (PE) by direct double immunofluorescence. 1.1. MAb used to mark adhesion molecules: 1.1.1. Anti-CD11a (LFA-1) (Bender MedSystems Diagnostics, Vienna) 1.1.2. Anti-CD40L (Bender MedSystems Diagnostics, Vienna) 1.1.3. Anti-CD11b (Mac-1) (Bender MedSystems Diagnostics, Vienna) 1.1.4. Anti-Syalil Lewis (anti-CD15s) (Pharmingen, San Diego, CA) 1.1.5. Anti-CD49d (VLA-4) (Cytogmos) 1.2. MAb used to mark T-lymphocytes: anti-CD2 (Caltag Laboratories, Burlingame, CA) 1.2. MAb used to mark monocytes: anti-CD14 (Caltag Laboratories, Burlingame, CA) 2. Soluble adhesion molecules: The following serum soluble adhesion molecules (1-4) and other molecules (5-7) will be determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits (Immunotech): 2.1. Soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1) 2.2. Soluble vascular adhesion molecule 1 (sVCAM-1) 2.3. sE-selectin 2.4. sP-selectin 2.5. Soluble monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (sMCP-1) 2.6. Tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-a) 2.7. Interleukin 1a (IL-1a) 3. Plasma and urine functional components study: 3.1. Plasma polyphenol concentration will be determined by Liquid Chromatography Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC/MS/MS). The plasma polyphenol determinations will be carried out at 8 points during the 24h study, and urine polyphenol determinations at 0-6, 6-12 and 12-24 hours periods with the objective to obtain the plasma and urine phenolics kinetic and to investigate the different kinetic parameters | — |

| 1. Medical record: 1.1. A complete medical record will be obtained from all participants, which includes data on tomato intake, smoking and dietary habits. 1.2. Blood pressure and heart rate will be measured with an electronic apparatus Omron HEM-705CP (Netherlands). 2. Nutrition assessment and general analyses: 2.1. All participants will complete a validated nutritional questionnaire at baseline to determine the total quantity of calories ingested in the previous month as well as the proportion corresponding to carbohydrates, lipids and proteins. 2.2. Overall nutrition will be determined by percentage of ideal weight, lean body mass and body mass index. 2.3. Waist perimeter will be measured. 2.4. The following measurements will also be obtained: 2.4.1. Red blood cell count 2.4.2. Haematocrit 2.4.3. Mean corpuscular volume 2.4.4. Leukocyte count 2.4.5. Glucose 2.4.6. Creatinine 2.4.7.
