(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2020) Pogoda, Katarzyna; Pucka, Maria; Tabarkiewicz, Jacek; Bober, Zuzanna; Aebisher, David; Galiniak, Sabina; Bartusik-Aebisher, Dorota
Introduction. The paper presents the results of a study of cell cultures of lung cancer and kidney cancer using lycopene performed using clinical magnetic resonance imaging. Aim. The aim of the study was to evaluate lycopene activity on tumor cell cultures. Material and methods. For this purpose, MR tests were performed using the technique of determining transverse relaxation. Results. Described here studies demonstrated that lycopene may inhibit the growth of A549 and ACHN cell lines. Conclusion. We determine changes in spin lattice relaxavity T2 to monitor treatment of lung cancer cell line A549 and kidney cancer cell line ACHN cells treatment with lycopene.
Natural properties of lycopene and its application in medicine
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2021) Sowińska, Marta
Introduction. The subject of the article is a chemical compound belonging to the carotenoid family, i.e. lycopene. Aim. The aim of this study was to describe interest among scientists regarding lycopene due to its unique properties, general availability and potential for wide application in medicine. Material and methods. This article is a review in which the properties of lycopene, its chemical structure and sources (especially in the form of tomato fruits and its products), as well as its important role and importance in medicine, is presented. Analysis of the literature. Lycopene is an interesting compound with interesting properties. It may prove to be an important and readily available means of preventing and fighting cancer (especially prostate cancer, uterine cancer and breast cancer). Additionally, lycopene can counteract cardiovascular diseases that are common nowadays. Conclusion. The data indicates increased number of papers regarding applications of lycopene in medicine.
