Effects of acupuncture and moxibustion on MDA, GSH-Px, and hyp in the skin of senile mice

Abstract: 【Abstract】Objective: To observe the effects of acupuncture and moxibustion on the skin histomorphology of senile mice. Methods: The subacute senile model of mouse was made by subcutaneous injection of D-galactose into the neck, then they were randomly allocated into an acupuncture group, a moxibustion group, a model group, and a blank group, and measured the content of malondialdehyde (MDA), activity of glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), and content of hydroxyproline (Hyp) in the skin tissue.

“…Consistent with previous studies, 83–87 elevated oxidative stress along with the suppression of the endogenous antioxidant systems, are responsible for the accelerated skin aging observed in our C57BL/6 mice treated with chronic subcutaneous d -galactose injections. SOD is considered an anti-aging and antioxidant enzyme that helps in the defence process against oxidative stress.…”

“…Although a significant body of evidence suggests that high D-gal concentrations can induce skin aging, these are largely circumstantial [66][67][68][69][70][71][72][73][74][75][76][77][78][79][80][82][83][84][85][86]. To the best of our knowledge, skin aging has not been identified in patients with galactosemia [87,157].…”

“…For instance, biochemical analysis of the D-gal-treated skin showed that activities of CAT, GSH-Px, and GSH were reduced in some studies [73,[82][83][84]. On the contrary, it was demonstrated that CAT [74] and GSH-Px activities were increased in D-galtreated animals [72,74].…”

“… 38 Acupuncture at Zusanli (ST36) can lower the content of malondialdehyde (MDA) in the skin of aging mice induced by d-galactose, enhance the activity of glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), increase hydroxyproline (Hyp) content, improve skin tissue metabolism, raise telomerase activity, reduce epidermal thickness, and suppress the proliferation and inflammatory response of hair follicles and sebaceous glands. 39 , 40 According to Chelsea Ma’s research, acupuncture can significantly alter facial elasticity, performing well overall in treating conditions such as chloasma and mild pigmentation. Acupuncture is also effective in clearing most acne lesions.…”
