Figure 1. Topical Hesperidin Improves Epidermal Permeability Barrier Homeostasis in Aged Murine Skin.
The values present the data in vivo in mice unless otherwise specified. Figure 1a displays basal TEWL and skin surface pH in mice; 1b, barrier recovery in mice; Fig. 1c shows the levels of epidermal mRNA in mice; 1d exhibits the levels of mRNA expression in vitro in human keratinocyte cultures, expressed as % of vehicle treated samples setting the levels of vehicle treated as 100% (dotted line); Fig. 1e shows epidermal mRNA levels in mice, expressed as % of normal young mice setting the levels of young mice as 100% (dotted line); Fig. 1f is the results of quantitative analysis of lamellar body density and secretion in mice; Fig. 1g and h present the expression levels of ABCA12 in mice and in vitro in human keratinocyte cultures, respectively; Fig. 1i shows the expression levels of epidermal NHE1 and sPLA2 in mice. Significances and numbers of samples are indicated in the figures.
