The present study tended to show the protective capacity of lycopene in rats 28 rats, 14 of which were pretreated with lycopene and 14 with saline for 12 days. Between 11 and 12 fueron taken 7 rats from each group which were given methotrexate. Subsequently, enzyme systems and observed their testicular tissue and duodenum (very sensitive to methotrexate). When finished it was found that the group of rats who received methotrexate and lycopene showed a lot less damage in testis and duodenum compared to saline group, showing a persistence of hepatic glutathione system capable of neutralizing the toxic effects of methotrexate.
