Astaxanthin alleviates altered hepatic lipid metabolism and oxidative stress in animals fed a high-sucrose diet
This study suggests that ASTX obtained from the freshwater crustacean <i>D. pagei</i> exerts beneficial effects against altered hepatic lipid metabolism and oxidative stress in HSD-fed rats, positioning this species as a promising novel source of ASTX for functional nutrition strategies.
