In addition, C-phycocyanin has been reported to suppress the formation of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) and NADH, as well as inhibit NADPH oxidase expression, mechanisms that may collectively underlie the hypolipidemic effects of Spirulina [61, 62]
By activating FOXO, SIRT1 increases the expression of antioxidant enzymes like MnSOD and CAT, which counteract the formation of ROS [126,127]
