Effects of dietary natural astaxanthin (ASTA) on the expression of proteins related to the mitogen-activated protein kinase/nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 (MAPK/Nrf2) pathway in the testis tissues of aging layer breeder roosters. The experimental groups included the control group (0 mg/kg) and ASTA groups (25–100 mg/kg). The results are expressed as the mean ± standard deviation (n = 3). a–c Means within a row with no common superscripts differ significantly (P < 0.05)
