Lycopene inhibits endothelial cells migration induced by vascular endothelial growth factor A increasing nitric oxide bioavailability

Lycopene is a carotenoid found in tomatoes previously shown bioactive in endothelial cells. We studied in vitro cell migration, key step in angiogenesis using the scratch wound healing assay to test the effects of lycopene (2 µmol/L) on Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells. To explore the cellular...
