Opis

General description

Astaxanthin (AST) is a red dietary carotenoid. It is mainly found in aquatic animals and microalgae, such as Haematococcus pluvialis and Chlorella zofingiensis.

Application

Astaxanthin has been used:

• as an antioxidant to study its effect on Brachionus manjavacas (Rotifera) population growth
• to study its effects on the treatment of diabetic retinopathy.
• to investigate its role in restoring the expression of Nrf2 (nuclear factor erythroid 2 p45-related factor 2) and glutathione S-transferase P1 (GSTP1) through epigenetic modification in human prostate LNCaP cells.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Astaxanthin is a potent antioxidant with antiproliferative, neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory activity.

Astaxanthin is a potent antioxidant with antiproliferative, neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory activity. Astaxanthin protects against oxidative stress, inhibiting NF-KB, suppressing pro-inflammatory genes and suppressing production of pro-inflammatory compounds nitric oxide, prostaglandin E2, TNF-α, and interleukin-1β. Astaxanthin′s protection of cells from oxidative stress generated by TNF-α and palmitate has been shown to ameliorate insulin resistance. Astaxanthin has also been shown to be an inhibitor of PPARγ.

In vivo and in vitro studies propose that astaxanthin (AST) possesses health-promoting activities, signifying its potential use in the prevention of various diseases, such as cancers and Parkinson′s disease. Due to its bright red colour, AST has been used as a food colorant in animal feeds.
