What is Astaxanthin?
Astaxanthin (English astaxanthin['æstæksænθɪn], referred to as ASTA, also known as astaxanthin in Hong Kong and Taiwan) is a kind of cyanidin that can give ornamental fish, salmon, shrimp and flamingos pink color.Its chemical structure is similar to beta-carotene.Astaxanthin is a member of the carotenoid group.It is also the highest level product of carotenoid synthesis, β-carotene, lutein, canthaxanthin, lycopene, etc. are just intermediate products of carotenoid synthesis, so in nature, astaxanthin has the strongestAntioxidant.
What is the function of Astaxanthin?
1.The important property of astaxanthin lies in its antioxidant properties, it is an excellent antioxidant.The strong antioxidant activity of astaxanthin is due to its ability to stabilize the structure of the membrane, reduce membrane permeability, and limit the entry of peroxide promoters into cells.Protects vital molecules in cells from oxidative damage.At the same time, astaxanthin may have the potential to be a pro-oxidant to induce oxidative stress.The conjugated double bond, hydroxyl group and unsaturated ketone group at the end of the conjugated double bond chain in the astaxanthin molecule, in which the hydroxyl group and the ketone group form an α-hydroxy ketone, these structures have relatively active electronic effects and canDonate electrons to free radicals or attract unpaired electrons of free radicals, effectively quenching highly oxidizing singlet reactive oxygen species and other free radicals in the environment.
2. Investigations of the relationship between dietary carotenoid intake and cancer incidence or mortality found that overall cancer incidence or mortality was significantly negatively correlated with carotenoid intake.Comparing the anti-tumor activities of various carotenoids, astaxanthin has the strongest effect.The antitumor activity of astaxanthin may be related to its signal transduction between cells, the induction of xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes, and the regulation of immune responses related to tumor cells.
3. Astaxanthin can significantly enhance the body's local and systemic immunity. This immunomodulatory property combined with antioxidant properties plays an important role in preventing the occurrence and spread of diseases.Experiments have shown that carotenoids can slow down the decline in immunity caused by aging, improve the function of the body's immune organs, and enhance resistance to harsh environments.
