Conclusion: It was seen that antioxidant enzymes activities, TEAC and FRAP values increased, the levels of MDA, tail DN%, mean tail length and MN decreased and improved membrane structure in the blood cells. Also, these data shown that the lycopene has more protective effects in erythrocytes and leucocytes of non-diabetic groups than diabetic groups.
