Sesha okufunayo
I-Lycopene i-pigment ebomvu ekhanyayo kanye nohlobo lwe-carotenoid oluvame ukutholakala ezithelweni nasemifino, ikakhulukazi kutamatisi.Inesibopho sokunikeza utamatisi umbala wawo obomvu ogqamile.I-Lycopene iyi-antioxidant enamandla, okusho ukuthi isiza ukuvikela amaseli emonakalweni obangelwa ama-radicals mahhala.Kukholakala ukuthi kunezinzuzo ezehlukene zezempilo, okuhlanganisa:
Izakhiwo Ze-Antioxidant: I-Lycopene isiza ukuqeda ama-radicals mahhala ayingozi emzimbeni, okungenzeka inciphise ukucindezeleka okwenziwe nge-oxidative futhi ivikele amaseli emonakalweni.
Impilo Yenhliziyo: Ucwaningo lusikisela ukuthi i-lycopene ingasiza ekwehliseni ingozi yezifo zenhliziyo nemithambo yegazi ngokunciphisa ukuvuvukala, ivimbele i-oxidation ye-LDL cholesterol, futhi ithuthukise ukusebenza kwemithambo yegazi.
