Deskripsi

Macrophages play a central role in atherosclerosis development through uptake of oxidized LDL, foam cell formation, and secretion of inflammatory mediators. Astaxanthin may interrupt this process by reducing LDL oxidation and modulating macrophage activity.

Astaxanthin's transmembrane orientation is unique among carotenoids, spanning the entire lipid bilayer with its polar end groups anchored at both membrane surfaces. This positioning enables superior antioxidant protection of membrane lipids.
