Astaxanthin mitigates diabetic cardiomyopathy and nephropathy in HF/HFr/STZ diabetic rats via modulating NOX4, fractalkine, Nrf2, and AP-1 pathways

Abstract This study investigated the effects of astaxanthin (ASTA) on diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) and nephropathy (DN) in rats. Type 2 diabetes was induced through a high-fat/high-fructose (HF/HFr) diet followed by a sub-diabetogenic dose streptozotocin injection. Diabetic rats were treated with A...
