Glutathione and astaxanthin: Both enhance antioxidant capacity and regulate lipid metabolism in Pacific white shrimp (<i>Litopenaeus vannamei</i>) fed with high-lipid diets.

ABSTRACT: Glutathione (GSH) and astaxanthin (AX) have the function of helping lipid metabolism and antioxidant capacity; which one is better? The feeding experiment of an 8 weeks was conducted to investigate the advantages of these two working on Litopenaeus vannamei fed with high-lipid diets. Four diets were formulated: basal diet (CON, 9 % lipid content); high-lipid diet (HL, 11 % lipid content); and supplementation with 6.7 g/kg Glutathione-rich yeast hydrolysate (GSH, 5 %) and 0.3 g/kg Carophyll^Ⓡ Pink (AX, 10 %) based on the HL diet, recorded as HLG and HLA, respectively. The results demonstrated a clear distinction between these two supplements. Compared to the HL group, shrimp in the HLG and HLA groups exhibited a consistent pattern of improvement that significantly reduced h
