Alginate oligosaccharide alleviates vascular aging by upregulating glutathione peroxidase 7

The Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry
Alginate oligosaccharide (AOS) may delay aging by decreasing oxidative stress, but the effects on vascular aging remain unclear. Here, we evaluate the effect of AOS on vascular aging and investigate the underlying mechanisms. Twenty-month-old rats acted as the natural aging model in vivo.
