Thus, the prevention of fractures is relevant to individuals with signs and symptoms as well as to the health system. Postmenopausal osteoporosis has been associated with oxidative stress, emphasizing the importance of an efficient defense system to maintain bone health. Lycopene is a carotenoid with antioxidant properties that may stimulate osteoblastogenesis and inhibit osteoclastogenesis. The purpose of this investigation was to analyze the influence of lycopene in the bone neoformation of calvaria defects in ovariectomized rats utilizing the concentration of 45 mg\/kg. Wistar Hannover female rats were divided into ovariectomized and sham groups. The ovariectomized animals received 45 mg\/kg lycopene (OvxL) or water (Ovx) by daily gavage the day after ovariectomy\/sham surgery for 16 weeks. Twelve weeks after ovariectomy, there were performed 5-mm calvaria defects followed by euthanasia after 4 weeks. Samples of bone tissue were collected to perform morphological and morphometrical analysis of the neoformed bone area, and percentage with Software Image J. Morphological evaluation showed mature bone with more osteocytes in the group OVxL when compared to the other groups. The morphometrical analysis demonstrated a significant increase of bone neoformation in the group OvxL (p&lt;0.05). The data obtained suggest that lycopene benefits bone repair in the absence of estrogenic hormones.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/0103-6440202304980","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,17]],"date-time":"2023-07-17T12:15:01Z","timestamp":1689596101000},"page":"50-56","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Lycopene
