There wasn't a statistically significant difference in the change of c-reactive protein, though there was a notable increase in the astaxanthin group and a decrease in the placebo group. There wasn't a statistically significant or notable difference for the change in IL-6, and these were not comparable at baseline. There wasn't a statistically significant difference in serum IL-2 receptor, though astaxanthin saw a greater increase, and there was a greater increase in uric acid in the astaxanthin group, but this wasn't statistically significant.Funding issues for this study:
There wasn't a statistically significant difference in antioxidant vitamins, carotenoids, lipid profile, lipid peroxidation, liver enzymes, or fatty acids between groups.
