西红柿的作用（The function of tomatoes）
Lipid-lowering effect
Tomato is rich in vitamin A and C, its acidity is due to citric acid and malic acid, oral tomato pectin can reduce the cholesterol and cholesterol in the serum and liver of rats. Tomato juice can cause high blood pressure and smooth muscle stimulation.
Antifungal effect
Lycopene has antifungal activity. Capable of inhibiting certain fungi that are pathogenic to plants or people; but very bad for bacteria. The principle of its inhibition may be to form some sterol complex in the cell membrane of fungi. Its glucoside (tomato amine) is very bad. Lycopene originally introduced from tomatoes, mixed with rutin, especially its aglycone quercetin, quercetin, can antagonize the antibacterial effects of lycopene, and therefore, the antifungal properties of lycopene are not strong.
Prevention of gastric cancer
Gastric cancer ranks second in the world in cancer incidence and cancer mortality, and is a major killer of people's health. Tomatoes are always in the forefront of cancer or health care foods recommended by many world health organizations. Studies in Italy show that tomatoes can inhibit the onset of stomach cancer. People who eat 2 times a week of tomato products have a 50% lower risk of developing stomach cancer than those who only eat 7 times a week. Japanese studies found that plasma
levels of vitamin A, C, E, beta carotene, and lycopene in the plasma of selected residents were only significantly associated with plasma levels of lycopene and gastric cancer. All the above studies indicate that lycopene and tomato products can significantly reduce the incidence of gastric cancer and esophageal cancer. The highest lycopene content in nature is the tomato. Lycopene must be absorbed by the body when it is heated or greasy. Heating, in particular, is particularly beneficial for lycopene absorption. Because the cell walls of tomatoes are broken after heating, lycopene can be fully released. Tomato juice, tomato sauce, tomato sauce and other tomato products are treated by heat treatment, which can greatly improve the absorption and utilization of lycopene. Finally, lycopene is sensitive to oxidation, and will be lost by sunlight. Therefore, when storing tomato products, try to avoid light and avoid oxygen, so as to keep them in a cool place. Cooking should also pay attention to tomatoes or tomato products should not be fried, otherwise lycopene will be a lot of damage.
Anti-inflammatory effect
Lycopene has an obvious anti-inflammatory effect in animal experiments. The intramuscular injection of 1 ~ 10mg/kg or oral administration of 15 to 30mg/kg could significantly reduce the edema of the ankle caused by carrageenan, and the effect was more obvious after adrenalectomy. Subcutaneous injection of 5 ~ 10mg/kg for 7 days, can inhibit the formation of granulation tissue. Subcutaneous injection of 10mg/kg can reduce capillary permeability in mice. Its aglycone has no anti-inflammatory effect. Although the chemical structure is similar to that of
sterols, the anti-inflammatory effects are similar in many respects to those of nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs. The principle of its anti-inflammatory action may be related to the nature of its anti - medium. On the isolated guinea pig ileum, lycopene can antagonize the contractile reaction of histamine, acetylcholine, bradykinin and barium chloride, but it can not prevent the action of oxytocin on the uterus. In the whole experiment, the intraperitoneal injection of 3-20mg/kg into guinea pigs reduced the permeability of capillary permeability caused by histamine, and also partly antagonized the reaction induced by histamine,
But there was no effect on anaphylactic shock (sensitization of guinea pig egg white). It is also reported that lycopene is often mixed with another substance closely related to its chemical properties (Gomatine and Tomatinie may be isomers), and its antihistamine effect is far stronger. Lycopene has reversible inhibitory effect on the pseudo cholinesterase, and has little effect on the true cholinesterase.
Fever fever
The tomato juice and watermelon juice half cup, mixed drink, drink once a hour, can return a high fever.
Relieve sore throat
Mix half a cup of tomato juice and half a cup of warm water to rinse the throat. It can relieve sore throat symptoms.
Treating hypertension
Choose 1~2 fresh tomatoes every morning, fasting dipped in sugar to eat, the effect of lowering blood pressure is obvious.
Treat skin diseases
Fresh ripe tomatoes peeled and seeds smashed deposited in the affected area, daily 2 ~ 3 times, can cure skin diseases, fungal infection.
Treating anemia
The tomato, apple each 1, sesame 15 grams, a finish, take 1 to twice a day, long-term adherence, can cure anemia.
The role of Lycopene
Lycopene has strong antioxidant activity. In fact, lycopene is derived from tomato and belongs to solanaceae. Tomatoes are the most abundant source of lycopene. Lycopene has the following pharmacological effects: first, anti-aging: Lycopene is not only an important natural food colorant in the industry today, but more importantly, it is a strong antioxidant. Adding lycopene to the body can help the body fight against various degenerative diseases caused by free radicals. The body's metabolism will continue to produce oxygen, free radicals, air pollution, drugs, sunlight, radiation and so on, will also produce oxygen free radicals in the body. The anti - free radical system in the body declines with age. When the number of oxygen free radicals suddenly increases or the amount of antioxidant system in the body is insufficient, the oxygen free
radicals can not be completely eliminated. The combination of oxygen free radicals and macromolecules in the body cells can lose elasticity, shine, wrinkles and skin aging. Therefore, we need to supplement lycopene, resist aging, enhance the immune system and reduce the incidence of diseases. Lycopene can also reduce macular degeneration and reduce pigmentation. Second, reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease: the degradation of free radicals caused by cardiovascular disease is the number one culprit. Once the lipid peroxidation in the blood chain, fatty acids to produce polymerization. When these macromolecular lipid deposits are deposited on the walls of blood vessels, they harden and block blood vessels. Clinical trials conducted at several European medical research centers show that lycopene, due to its strong antioxidant properties, can effectively reduce and prevent cardiovascular disease and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Third, cancer prevention and treatment: Lycopene through the effective removal of free radicals in the body, to prevent and repair cell damage, inhibit DNA oxidation, thereby reducing the incidence of cancer. Lycopene also has biochemical effects such as cell growth regulation and intercellular information induction. It can induce cell communication, ensure normal growth of cells, control signal transmission, regulate tumor cell proliferation, and play a role in cancer prevention and anti-cancer. Research shows，
Lycopene can effectively prevent prostate cancer, digestive tract cancer, liver cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer, bladder cancer, uterine cancer, skin cancer and so on.
toxicity
Tomatine toxicity is very small, oral administration of high dose and long time has not found toxicity, may absorb very little reason. Subcutaneous injection can cause local necrosis, and its ointments (for fungal diseases) are not irritating to the skin and may be irritating to the mucosa. To rats or rabbits by intravenous injection, can cause rapid and transient decrease in blood pressure, had no effect on heart rate, can cause hemolysis in vitro and in vivo.
