Astaxanthin Attenuates the Changes in the Expression of MicroRNAs Involved in the Activation of Hepatic Stellate Cells
We previously demonstrated that astaxanthin (ASTX), a xanthophyll carotenoid, has an antifibrogenic effect in hepatic stellate cells (HSC), primarily responsible for the accumulation of extracellular matrix protein during the development of liver fibrosis. Studies have shown that microRNAs (miRNAs)...
