SOD1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus: Lycopene intake by the T2DM group was inversely correlated with the FPG (r= −0.342, p<.01) and HbA1c (r = −0.414, p<.01) levels (Table 2), while lycopene intake showed positive correlation with TAC (r = 0.620, p<.0001), GPx (r = 0.487, p < .01) and SOD (r = 0.573, p < .0001) concentrations.
