Astaxanthin reduces fat storage in fat-6/fat-7 dependent manner determined by Caenorhabditis elegans-a critical and unique tool Junting Xie, Xiaoning Hou, Wanshi He, Yong Cao, Jie Xiao and Xiaojuan Liu Abstract Although astaxanthin has been shown to have a high potential for weight loss, there still remains an essential issue that cannot be addressed by mice. Hence, we further illuminated its efficacy and specific action sites by using Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans).

The novel peptide derived from Haematococcus pluvialis residues exhibited anti-aging activity in Caenorhabditis elegans via the insulin/IGF-1 signaling pathway Wanshi He, Junting Xie, Zenghui Xia, Xiaoyan Chen, Jie Xiao, Yong Cao and Xiaojuan Liu Abstract To explore the value of Haematococcus pluvialis (H. pluvialis) residues remaining after astaxanthin extraction and being discarded uneconomically, our previous study discovered the novel peptide (HPp) as a potential bioactive component.
