Article Synopsis
- - The study investigated the effects of astaxanthin (ASX) from shrimp shells on Wistar rats with Alzheimer’s disease caused by amyloid-β (1-42) peptides, using eight different treatment groups over 30 days.
- - Behavioral tests showed that the Aβ group had significantly impaired cognitive abilities and increased memory loss, while oxidative stress markers in the brain worsened.
- - ASX powder at 10 mg/kg body weight effectively reduced cognitive and memory issues and oxidative stress more than both ASX extract and vitamin E, highlighting its potential benefits for neurodegeneration.

Article Synopsis
- - This study explored how the composition of phospholipids affects the properties and absorption of astaxanthin-loaded liposomes using cell cultures, focusing on different ratios of phosphatidylcholine (PC) at various concentrations.
- - The findings showed that liposomes with 70% PC at a concentration of 2.0% w/v had the highest entrapment efficiency for astaxanthin and retained its antioxidant activity over an 8-week storage period at 4°C.
- - Additionally, the research revealed that astaxanthin-loaded liposomes with 70% PC were absorbed by human colon cells significantly better than those with 23% PC, indicating a potential for improved bioavailability.
