Article Synopsis
- Astaxanthin (AST) is a natural antioxidant that has shown potential in reducing inflammation and protecting bovine endometrial epithelial cells from damage caused by lipopolysaccharide (LPS).
- Treatment with AST decreased harmful inflammatory molecules, increased protective enzyme activity, and improved cell survival by modulating key proteins involved in apoptosis and growth factor production.
- The study highlights AST's ability to strengthen the endometrial defense against infections, suggesting it could be a valuable alternative in treating bovine endometritis, especially amidst rising antibiotic resistance.
