The high-dose astaxanthin group also had lower adipose tissue weight, while the lower dose astaxanthin groups did not have significantly lower adipose tissue weight than the olive oil group.

The mechanism behind such effects was related to a stimulation of fatty acid utilisation, suggested the researchers, meaning that glucose use decreases and fatty acids are metabolised preferentially as the energy source.

With 50 per cent of Europeans and 62 per cent of Americans classed as overweight, the food industry is waking up to the potential of products for weight loss and management. Ikeuchi, T. Koyama, J. Takahashi, K. Show more. Kaneka Ubiquinol Recorded the Nov Webinar.

Obesity in DMD patients also causes a decline in physical and lung function, leading to increased risk of fractures and obstructive sleep apnea. There is increased interest in phytochemical supplementation in weight management and astaxanthin, which is naturally fat-soluble.

It can improve glucolipid metabolism, offering protection from oxidative damage and can regulate the immune system. The researchers assigned 18 male mice to one of three groups: a normal diet group, a high-fat diet group and a high-fat diet containing astaxanthin.

The astaxanthin was purchased from Shanghai Macklin Biochemical Technology Co. The experiment lasted for 16 weeks where body weight and food intake were monitored once a week. At the end of the intervention, the scientists measured grip strength and a treadmill endurance.

Later, blood, muscle and fecal samples were collected from the mice. The mice had "increased gastrocnemius fiber cross-section area and grip strength, improved treadmill endurance test and mitochondrial morphology and reduced muscle triglyceride and malonaldehyde levels," the researchers wrote.

Commenting independently on the findings, Mark Miller, president of Kaiviti Consulting, a boutique consulting company for the nutrition and wellness industries, said that caution is needed when interpreting animal models of disease and that clinical trial follow up would be the obvious next step.

A severe X-linked inherited neuromuscular disease, DMD is characterized by insufficient production of dystrophin—a protein located mostly in muscles and used for movement—due to mutations in the dystrophin gene. Glucocorticoid treatment is typically the standard of care in DMD to improve muscle function, delay the loss of ambulation and onset of cardiomyopathy and prolong survival, the study noted.

However, this treatment has various complications including weight gain, osteoporosis and short stature. Moreover, microbiota dysbiosis, which is associated with reduced microbial diversity and increased harmful bacteria, causes gut inflammation and immune dysregulation, which exacerbates DMD muscle damage.

Thus, the effect of astaxanthin on gut microbiota of DMD patients is worth exploring. Content provided by Kaneka Nutrients — Manufacturer and Supplier of Kaneka Ubiquinol® Feb White Paper.
