This study was conducted to determine the effect of astaxanthin (ASX) treatment on alleviation ofrenal damage in high fructose induced nephrotoxicity in rats. Treatments were arranged in a 2 2 fac-torial fashion: administrations of fructose (30%, via drinking water) and ASX (1 mg/kg/day, within0.2ml olive oil) for 8 weeks. Data were analyzed by two-way ANOVA. The ASX treatment decreasedserum urea (p<.01) and blood urea–N concentrations (p<.02) at a lower extent in rats receiving fruc-tose than those not receiving fructose. Moreover, the ASX treatment reversed the increases in malon-dialdehyde (MDA) (p<.0001) and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-jB) (p<.0003) levels and the decreasesin superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity (p<.0001) and sirtuin-1 (SIRT1) level (p<.0004), in the kidneyupon high fructose consumption. The data suggest that ASX supplementation alleviates renal damageinduced by high fructose consumption through modulating NF-jB/SIRT1 pathway and mitigating oxi-dative stress.
