Lycopene modulates cellular proliferation, glycolysis and hepatic ultrastructure during hepatocellular carcinoma

Figure 3 Effect of lycopene extracted from tomatoes and/or N-Nitrosodiethylamine. A: Hexokinase activity (nmoles of pseudo-inclusions liberated/min per milligram protein); B: Phosphoglucoisomerase (nmoles of fructose liberated/min per milligram protein); C: Aldolase (μmoles of hydrazone formed/min per milligram protein); D: G6PD (μmoles of NADPH formed/min per milligram protein); E: Glycogen (mg glucose/100 mg liver). ^aP ≤ 0.05, compared to the control group; ^b,c,dP ≤ 0.001, compared to the control group, NDEA group and LycT group, respectively; ^e,fP ≤ 0.01, compared to the control group and LycT group, respectively. LycT: Lycopene extracted from tomatoes; NDEA: N-Nitrosodiethylamine.
