Chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS) is a common male urological disease characterized by chronic pelvic pain and various discomforts. Astaxanthin (AST) has multiple functions, including anti-inflammatory property, but it is unclear whether AST plays a key role in CP/CPPS and how it works. This study aimed to investigate the protective effect of AST on CP/CPPS in rats and the underlying mechanism.
