Effects of tomato extract on cytokine profile of human peripheral blood mononuclear Cells (PBMCs)

Objective: This study was aimed to evaluate the effect of the addition of tomato extract (TE) on cytokine production. Conclusion: In the in vitro system performed in this study, a physiological amount of α-tocopherol (20μM) and the corresponding level of lycopene from tomato have shown to be able t...

Description
Summary:Objective: This study was aimed to evaluate the effect of the addition of tomato extract (TE) on cytokine production. Conclusion: In the in vitro system performed in this study, a physiological amount of α-tocopherol (20μM) and the corresponding level of lycopene from tomato have shown to be able to produce an anti-inflammatory effect.
