Possible Interaction: Glucose and Lycopene

“In contrast, lycopene only showed a significant negative correlation with fasting glucose (− 0.08) and a positive correlation with HDL cholesterol (0.18).”

“ Lycopene promotes the proliferation and reduces the apoptosis of EPCs cultivated in high glucose medium.”

“Taken together, these results suggest that LYC counteracts obesity and improves glucose and lipid metabolism through induction of the browning via up-regulation of PPARγ, which offers a new perspective of this compound to combat obesity and obesity-related disorders.”

“ Lycopene inhibited glucose/glucose oxidase‐induced cell death by preventing nuclear loss of Ku70 and a decrease in Ku‐DNA‐binding activity of AR42J cells.”

“Simultaneously, the contents of ATP, lactic acid and pyruvic acid were determined, and it was found that Ly could promote angiogenesis by increasing the utilization rate of glucose and promoting energy metabolism.”

“In the fed-batch culture of glycerol using a metabolically engineered strain of Escherichia coli, supplementation with glucose as an auxiliary carbon source increased lycopene production due to a significant increase in cell mass, despite a reduction in specific lycopene content.”

“Supplementation with both glucose and l-arabinose increased lycopene production significantly due to the synergistic effect of the two sugars.”
