A recent study sought to investigate the protective effects of astaxanthin against DNA damage induced by radiation. Mice fed the substance were irradiated by gamma rays, and then their liver cells were collected in order to analyze DNA integrity.
Such mice were found to have suffered less damage than mice not fed astaxanthin.
According to the study, as reprinted on the website Green Med Info:
"Astaxanthin might have some protective effect against oxidative impairment and DNA damage induced by ... gamma-rays".
