Abstract:An epidemiological study found that higher frequencies of carbonylated proteins (CPs) in corneocytes are closely correlated with the loss of skin hydration. On the other hand, a high frequency of CPs in reconstructed human epidermal equivalents (RHEEs) exposed to low humidity at their surface was also observed according to the generation of reactive oxygen species. Although those results elucidated the relationship between skin hydration and protein oxidation in the stratum corneum, it did not identify whether… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
