Astaxanthin Attenuates Hypertensive Vascular Remodeling by Protecting Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells from Oxidative Stress-Induced Mitochondrial Dysfunction

Oxidative stress aggravates mitochondrial injuries and accelerates the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), which are important mechanisms contributing to vascular remodeling in hypertension. We put forward the hypothesis that Astaxanthin (ATX), known to possess strong features of...
