Astaxanthin mitigates ethanol-induced mitochondrial dysfunction and activation of mitochondrial unfolded protein response in Kupffer cells
2025-06-18
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p> This study investigates the protective effects of astaxanthin (ASTX), a xanthophyll carotenoid, on ethanol-induced mitochondrial dysfunction in Kupffer cells (KCs), resident macrophages in the liver that play a key role in the pathogenesis of alcohol-related liver disease (ALD). Using immortalized mouse KCs (ImKCs) and primary mouse KCs (PmKCs) as in vitro models, we examined the role...
