Astaxanthin plays several key roles in redox reactions and energy balance that may protect against neurodegeneration: Antioxidant & membrane protection: Astaxanthin quenches reactive oxygen species and by embedding across lipid bilayers, protects mitochondrial and cellular membranes This oxidative support has been demonstrated in human studies with improvement in oxidative biomarkers (MDA, isoprostanes) Neurotrophic signaling: Brain-derived neurotrophic growth factor (BDNF) is important for cognitive support
In vivo experiments, semaglutide proved to mitigate oxidative stress and inhibit ferroptosis in cardiomyocytes
