The Importance of Antioxidant Activity for the Health-Promoting Effect of Lycopene

Anna Kulawik,
Judyta Cielecka-Piontek,
Przemysław Zalewski

Abstract: Lycopene is a compound of colored origin that shows strong antioxidant activity. The positive effect of lycopene is the result of its pleiotropic effect. The ability to neutralize free radicals via lycopene is one of the foundations of its pro-health effect, including the ability to inhibit the development of many civilization diseases. Therefore, this study focuses on the importance of the antioxidant effect of lycopene in inhibiting the development of diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, diseases within… Show more

“…Lycopene’s antioxidant capacity stems from its ability to neutralize free radicals and reactive oxygen species. Lycopene has a particular affinity for lipid-rich cell membranes, where it helps protect polyunsaturated fatty acids from lipid peroxidation, a key mechanism of oxidative damage [ 82 , 83 , 84 ]. There are several studies that prove the antioxidant activity of lycopene, showing its effects on diverse molecular pathways related with oxidative stress [ 85 , 86 , 87 , 88 , 89 ].…”

“…The MD is a diet characterized by low levels of saturated fat and high levels of vegetable oils. Furthermore, it contains several natural compounds with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antihypertensive, lipid-lowering, anti-diabetic, and anti-obesity effects [23]. For example, extra virgin olive oil with a high oleocanthal content is associated with a reduction in BMI, transaminases, and cytokines levels [22].…”

“…With other compounds in this group, it is responsible for the red and orange colour of some fruit and vegetables, such as tomato, watermelon, pink grapefruit, guava, apricot, papaya and pumpkin (1,2). In the human diet, the most common sources of this ingredient are tomatoes and tomato-based products (3). More than 85% of lycopene consumed comes from these sources (4).…”
