Lycopene attenuates <scp>LPS</scp>‐induced <scp>TNF‐α</scp> secretion in macrophages and inflammatory markers in adipocytes exposed to macrophage‐conditioned media

Abstract

These data indicate that lycopene displayed an anti-inflammatory effect on macrophages that beneficially impacted adipocyte function. Thus, these results suggest that lycopene could block the vicious cycle that occurs between adipocytes and macrophages in adipose tissue during obesity.
