Parameter | Control group (n = 10) | HFD (n = 10) | HFD + 2 mg/kg lycopene (n = 9) | HFD + 4 mg/kg lycopene (n = 10) |
---|---|---|---|---|
Plasma MDA (nmol/mL) | 2,06 ± 0.54 | 4,28 ± 0.94† | 2,58 ± 0,54* | 2,12 ± 0,51* |
Liver MDA (nmol/gr) | 20,72 ± 2.70 | 29,8 ± 3,91† | 20,21 ± 4,39* | 15,89 ± 4,65* |
Liver glutathione (μmol/mg) | 9,07 ± 1,01 | 8,08 ± 1,19 | 22,62 ± 20,09* | 20,96 ± 3,91* |
