The role and efficacy of Lycopene
Today, let’s talk about the role and efficacy of Lycopene. Lycopene has a long chain polyunsaturated olefin molecular structure, which makes it has strong ability to eliminate free radicals and antioxidant. It makes the role and efficacy of Lycopene is highly reviewed. At present, studies on its biological effects mainly focus on anti-oxidation, reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases, reducing genetic damage and inhibiting the development of tumors.
Enhance oxidative stress ability and anti-inflammatory effect
Oxidative damage is considered to be one of the main causes of increasing incidence of cancer and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. The antioxidant capacity of lycopene in vitro has been confirmed by many experiments. The quenching capacity of lycopene is more than 2 times that of β -carotene, the currently commonly used antioxidant, and 100 times that of vitamin E.
Protect the heart and blood vessels
Lycopene can deeply remove vascular waste, regulate plasma cholesterol concentration, protect low-density lipoprotein (LDL) from oxidation, repair and perfect oxidized cells, promote intercellular glial formation, and enhance vascular flexibility. Serum lycopene concentration is inversely associated with the risk of cerebral infarction and intracerebral hemorrhage, according to a study. Studies on the effect of lycopene on atherosclerosis in rabbits show that lycopene can effectively reduce serum total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG) and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels in rabbits, and its effect is equivalent to fluvastatin sodium. Other studies have shown that lycopene has a protective effect on local cerebral ischemia, which mainly inhibits the activity of glial cells and reduces the area of cerebral perfusion injury through antioxidant and free radical scavenging.
Skin protection
Lycopene also reduces skin exposure to radiation or ultraviolet (UV) damage and other functions. When UV irradiated skin, lycopene in the skin combined with free radicals produced by UV to protect skin tissue from damage. Compared with unirradiated skin, lycopene was reduced by 31 to 46 percent, while other components were almost unchanged. Studies have shown that by daily intake of lycopene rich food can fight UV, to avoid UV exposure to erythema. Lycopene can also quench free radicals in epidermal cells, and has obvious fading effect on senile pigmentation.
Boost immunity
Lycopene can activate immune cells, protect phagocytes from their own oxidative damage, promote the proliferation of T and B lymphocytes, stimulate the function of effector T cells, promote the production of some interleukins and inhibit the production of inflammatory mediators. Studies have found that moderate doses of lycopene capsules can improve human immunity, reduce the damage of acute exercise on the body’s immunity.
The role and efficacy of Lycopene is only showed part of. Lycopene products cover the food, supplement and cosmetic sectors, with lycopene supplements being the most popular. You can also check the product Lycopene in our website.
