Lycopeneyog ib qho tseem ceeb carotenoid, feem ntau pom muaj nyob rau hauv txiv lws suav, txiv lws suav, liab txiv kab ntxwv thiab liab lub hnab ntawv xibtes roj nyob rau hauv cov xwm, thiab faib nyob rau hauv cov ntshav thiab cov ntaub so ntswg nyob rau hauv tib neeg lub cev. Lycopene yog hu ua "cog kub" nyob rau sab hnub poob thiab muaj cov haujlwm tseem ceeb ntawm lub cev.
Tom qab nkag mus rau tib neeg lub cev los ntawm kev noj zaub mov, lycopene tuaj yeem ua ntau yam kev ua haujlwm ntawm lub cev, xws li ua cov tshuaj tiv thaiv antioxidant, quenching singlet oxygen thiab scavenging dawb radicals, tiv thaiv lipoprotein thiab DNA los ntawm oxidatively puas, yog li tiv thaiv qhov tshwm sim ntawm cancer. Lycopene tseem tuaj yeem tsim cov lipoprotein cholesterol oxidation cov khoom uas tsis tshua muaj zog los tiv thaiv qhov tshwm sim ntawm cov kab mob plawv; txhawb cov synthesis ntawm cov proteins uas tswj cov kev sib txuas ntawm lub cev; qhib lub cev tiv thaiv kab mob.
Lycopene Physiological Functions
2.1 Antioxidant muaj nuj nqi
Lycopene tuaj yeem tua cov kab mob oxygen reactive, tshem tawm cov dawb radicals hauv lub cev, thiab tiv thaiv lawv cov oxidation los ntawm kev puas tsuaj rau tib neeg lub cev. Oxygen tau yooj yim hloov mus rau hauv cov pa oxygen reactive hauv lub cev, uas ua rau muaj ntau yam dawb radicals. Cov dawb radicals yog cov sib txuas nrog cov electrons tsis sib xws, uas tuaj yeem tawm tsam lwm cov molecules ruaj khov, rhuav tshem tib neeg cov hlwb, rog, proteins, DNA, ua rau mob qog noj ntshav, ua rau cov kab mob plawv, mob caj dab, thiab lwm yam. Lycopene tuaj yeem tua cov pa oxygen reactive. Ntawm cov carotenoids, lycopene muaj lub zog quenching muaj peev xwm rau reactive oxygen hom, 100 npaug ntawm cov vitamin E thiab 2 npaug ntawm -carotene.
2.2 Anti-cancer thiab anti-cancer functions
Kab lis kev cai ntawm tes, kev sim tsiaj, kev tshawb fawb txog kev kis kab mob thiab lwm yam kev tshuaj ntsuam xyuas tau pom tias lycopene muaj cov txiaj ntsig ntawm inhibiting qhov nce thiab kis ntawm cov qog nqaij hlav cancer, thiab muaj peev xwm tiv thaiv kab mob qog noj ntshav, mob qog noj ntshav, mob qog noj ntshav, mob qog noj ntshav, mob qog noj ntshav, mob qog noj ntshav, prostate cancer, mob qog noj ntshav zais zis, mob qog nqaij hlav pancreatic, mob ntsws cancer, mob qog noj ntshav zes qe menyuam muaj txiaj ntsig zoo. Kev noj cov txiv lws suav thiab cov txiv lws suav tsis tu ncua thiab tswj cov qib siab ntawm lycopene hauv cov ntshav tuaj yeem txo tau ntau yam mob qog noj ntshav.
