    Objective: To determine the effect of lycopene on total cholesterol levels in patients with hypercholesterolemia at a hospital in Lima in 2017. Quantitative study with an analytical, longitudinal, and prospective design. Sample: Comprised of patients with hypercholesterolemia from the Nutrition clinic. Lycopene was administered through a preparation based on tomato juice with olive oil, which was macerated for approximately 8 hours before being consumed on an empty stomach. The study included 50 patients, 21 received tomato juice with olive oil (TJO) and their usual diet, 14 patients only received tomato juice (TJ) with their usual diet, and 15 received only nutritional counseling regarding a 1,000-calorie diet (D). Differences were found between the first and second cholesterol measurements for the tomato juice and olive oil preparations (p=0.000) and the Diet (p=0.006). No differences were demonstrated between the groups. According to the study, the tomato juice and olive oil preparation and the diet had an effect on cholesterol levels; these recommendations would support patients with cardiovascular diseases and dyslipidemias.
