Dietary tomato glycoalkaloids are cleaved during digestion to aglycones and further metabolized post-absorption. Steroidal alkaloids in plasma may serve as novel and specific biomarkers of tomato consumption and represent a class of phytochemical metabolites that could potentially have in vivo bioactivity impacting health and disease processes.
