Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the protective effects of astaxanthin (ASX) against heart damage caused by isoproterenol (ISO) in rats, focusing on its role in enhancing mitochondrial biogenesis.
- - Rats were divided into groups, with one receiving ISO to induce heart damage and others supplemented with varying doses of ASX before ISO administration, showing ASX lowered key cardiac injury markers and improved antioxidant levels.
- - Findings suggest that astaxanthin helps mitigate oxidative stress and cardiac cell death from ISO exposure by increasing mitochondrial function and reducing harmful compounds, indicating its potential as a therapeutic agent for heart protection.
