Lycopene helps prevent obesity related diseases

Lycopene has been found to help prevent obesity related diseases such as type II diabetes, the French National Institute of Agronomy reported Thursday Lycopene is found in some red fruits and vegetables such as tomatoes and watermelons Previous studies have confirmed that it has antioxidant effect In a new experiment, researchers from the National Institute of Agronomy in France found that lycopene rich diet can help people reduce body fat content and waistline They concluded that lycopene may have an effect on the movement of adipose tissue The researchers then fed the mice a high-fat diet and extracted fatty tissue from them to contact lycopene The results showed that lycopene was fat soluble and could be stored in fat tissue to inhibit the secretion of protein by fat cells Fat cells secrete a large amount of protein, which can cause chronic inflammation, leading to obesity, leading to some related diseases, such as type II diabetes, hypertension and so on, the researchers said Experiments in human adipose tissue also confirmed that lycopene can help prevent obesity related diseases In addition, the experiment also confirmed another benefit of lycopene, that is, the structure is relatively stable, even after cooking, its nutritional value will not be damaged.
