Lycopene Inhibits Propagation of Chlamydia Infection

Figure 1

Lycopene induces formation of lipid droplets in B10.MLM cells. (a) Cells were stained with fluorescent dye BODIPY in 24 and 42 hours after lycopene addition; (b) ratio of lipid droplet area to cell area was estimated with automatic image processing method. OFL: oil-formulated lycopene and MEL: microencapsulated lycopene. Scale bar 10 µM.
