Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), widely existing in bone marrow and peripheral blood, are involved in the repair of injured vascular endothelium and angiogenesis which are important to diabetic mellitus (DM) patients with vascular complications. The number and the function of EPCs are related to the advanced glycation end products (AGEs) generated in DM patients. Lycopene (Lyc) is an identified natural antioxidant that protects EPCs under the microenvironment of AGEs from damage.

- * The study measured heavy metals (Pb, Cr, Cd, As) in APPMs using inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), achieving excellent calibration curves and low detection limits.
- * Results showed high recovery rates for metal detection with minimal variation, indicating that the method is reliable and precise for analyzing these elements in APPMs or similar materials.
