[Effect of lycopene on the function of antioxidative enzyme system in rats].
In order to observe the effect of Lycopene(LP) on antioxidation in rats, the rats were given LP by oral. After 4 weeks the activity of SOD, MDA and GSH-Px, T-AOC, GSH, CAT in serum and liver were measured respectively. The result showed that the activities of SOD, T-AOC and GSH-Px in LP group were increased and the concentrations of MDA were decreased significantly(P < 0.05) compared with control group. LP could increase antioxidative effect and reduce lipid peroxidation in Wistar rats.
