Astaxanthin limits atherosclerosis and dysmetabolism in mice by attenuating inflammatory cell recruitment and signaling

ASX treatment reduces experimental atherosclerosis and blunts metabolic syndrome features in mice. This effect is linked to reduced leukocyte recruitment and systemic/local inflammation. The findings support ASX's potential in treating atherosclerosis and metabolic diseases, offering new mechanistic insights and ultimately warrant the rigorous clinical evaluation of such putative effects.
