Study on Hypoglycemic Effects of Astaxanthin

Abstract

Abstract: bjective: To study hypoglycemic effects of astaxanthin on various animal models. Method: There are three models, including the diabetic animal model induced by alloxan, the hyperglycemic models induced by epinephrine and glucose, and the normal mice. After being given the drugs orally, the blood glucose level of every model mouse was determined. Results: Astaxanthin has better therapeutical action on diabetes mice induced by alloxan, and can significantly make the blood glucose levels of hyperglycemic mice induced by epinephrine and glucose fall. Conclusion: Astaxanthin has good hypoglycemic action on many kinds of diabetic mice models.

Key words: astaxanthin, hypoglycemic effect, diabetes mellitus
