Clinical Trial of Anti-Oxidant Astaxanthin in Insulin-Resistant Subjects
common.study.values.description
“Clinical Trial of Anti-oxidant Astaxanthin in Insulin-resistant Subjects”
Astaxanthin is a natural compound, present in many foodstuffs and available as a nutritional supplement that has been shown to have beneficial effects on many of the features of insulin resistance/glucose intolerance, at least in animals. The goal of this project is to provide a validation of astaxanthin effects on metabolic regulation in humans and their mechanism(s) of action, to determine if astaxanthin could have any value as a "neutraceutical" to help improve regulation of glucose and fat metabolism in subjects with insulin resistance/ glucose intolerance.
