Objective To study the protective mechanism of lycopene by its modulating lipid disturbance.Methods To make high fat diet model,the groups were intragastrically administered different dosage of lycopene at the same time.The lipids of serum and liver were measured.The pathological changes in liver were observed by HE staining method.Results Serum and liver TC,TG,LDL-C,AI levels in the three lycopene groups notably decreased(P
