Alpha-mangostin extends lifespan in worms.
“The loss of lifespan induced by 6-OHDA in the N2 strain was fully reversed by high concentrations of α-Man.”

Alpha-mangostin protects against lifespan in worms.
“In wild-type (N2) C. elegans, α-Man (5-100 μM) protected against 6-OHDA (25 mM)-induced decrease in survival when administered either as pre- or post-treatment.”

Malondialdehyde
downin chickens1
Alpha-mangostin decreases malondialdehyde in chickens.
“Serum and hepatic antioxidant capacities were significantly enhanced, with increased glutathione peroxidase and catalase activities, elevated total antioxidant capacity, and decreased malondialdehyde levels (p < 0.05).”

Alpha-mangostin decreases feed-to-egg ratio in chickens.
“Dietary supplementation with α-mangostin, particularly at 120 mg/kg, significantly improved feed efficiency (p < 0.05), as evidenced by a reduced feed-to-egg ratio from week 2 onward”

Interleukin-1β

Alpha-mangostin decreases interleukin-1β in chickens.
“Moreover, α-Ma at 120 mg/kg specifically lowered the concentration of the pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-1β in both serum and uterine tissue (p < 0.05).”

Alpha-mangostin improves eggshell strength in chickens.
“After 4 weeks, hens receiving 120 mg/kg α-Ma exhibited significantly greater egg weight and eggshell strength (p < 0.05).”

Alpha-mangostin prevents neurodegeneration in worms.
“α-Man (25 μM) also prevented 6-OHDA-induced dopaminergic neurodegeneration in the BZ555 C. elegans strain.”

Alpha-mangostin decreases lipid peroxidation in rats.
“In rat cortical slices, α-Man (25 and 50 μM) reduced the 6-OHDA (100 μM)-induced oxidative damage to lipid levels”
