Astaxanthin Ameliorates Skeletal Muscle Atrophy in Tumor-Bearing Mice by Modulating Intestinal Flora and Promoting AKT/FOXO3a Pathway.

Astaxanthin, a carotenoid with antitumor and anti-inflammatory properties, ameliorates skeletal muscle atrophy in tumor-bearing mice during molecularly targeted therapy by modulating the intestinal flora and promoting activation of the AKT/FOXO3a pathway, suggesting its potential as a nutritional supplement and intestinal microecological regulator for cancer patients.
