Astaxanthin Counteracts Vascular Calcification In Vitro through an Early Up-Regulation of SOD2 Based on a Transcriptomic Approach

Astaxanthin Counteracts Vascular Calcification In Vitro through an Early Up-Regulation of SOD2 Based on a Transcriptomic Approach

Vascular calcification (VC) is a critical contributor to the rising cardiovascular risk among at-risk populations such as those with diabetes or renal failure. The pathogenesis of VC involves an uprising of oxidative stress, for which antioxidants can be theoretically effective. However, astaxanthin...
