Effects of astaxanthin on antioxidant parameters in ARPE-19 cells on oxidative stress model.

Aim To observe the protective effect of astaxanthin (AST) against hydroquinone (HQ) mediated cell death in the apoptotic cascade and evaluate intracellular Ca2+ release, caspase-3, and -9 activation, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in ARPE-19 cells.Methods We cultured ARPE-19 cells in speci...
