The Protective Effects of a Dietary Carotenoid, Astaxanthin, Against Light-Induced Retinal Damage
Dietary carotenoids exhibit various biological activities, including antioxidative activity. In particular, astaxanthin, a type of carotenoid, is well known as a powerful antioxidant. We investigated whether astaxanthin would protect against light-induced retinal damage. In an in vivo study, ddY mal...
