Lycopene is one of the most powerful carotenoid antioxidants in nature, which can remove free radicals, protect cell membranes, mitochondria and DNA from oxidative damage.
This can indirectly protect the enzyme reaction environment in which coenzymes (such as CoQ10, coenzyme A, and B vitamins) participate.
Support for mitochondrial function, Lycopene has a protective effect on mitochondria, which are the key locations where many coenzymes (especially CoQ10, NAD+, FAD, etc.) play their roles.
Regulation of gene expression and enzyme activity Lycopene can affect
the expression of some genes involved in detoxification, anti-inflammation and lipid metabolism (such as Nrf2 pathway), thereby indirectly affecting the number and efficiency of metabolic reactions involving coenzymes.
