Isoproterenol was given subcutaneously as a single dose of 85 mg/kg.b.w. to 18 h fasted animals. It was given to all groups except the normal one. astaxanthin (50 and 100
mg/kg) were orally given daily for 58 days and the last dose of each was given 1 h before Isoproterenol administration. Blood samples were collected 24 h after isoproterenol
administration. Values are given as mean ± SD for groups of eight animals each.
