Effects of enzyme-treated caviar (CV) on morphological and histopathological changes (A), skin hydration (B), and antioxidant activities of SOD (C), CAT (D), and GPx (E) in the dorsal skin of UVB-irradiated hairless mice. Normal control (NC, −UVB), control (C, +UVB), L-ascorbic acid (positive control, PC; +UVB with dietary supplementation of L-ascorbic acid at 100 mg/kg/body weight [bw]), CV20 (+UVB with dietary supplementation of CV at 20 mg/kg/bw), CV50 (+UVB with dietary supplementation of CV at 50 mg/kg/bw), and CV100 (+UVB with dietary supplementation of CV at 100 mg/kg/bw). Values are presented as mean ± SD. Different letters (a > b > c > d > e) indicate a significant difference at p < 0.05 by Duncan’s multiple range test. SOD, superoxide dismutase; CAT, catalase; GPx, glutathione peroxidase.
