Abstract:It is generally accepted that Propionibacterium acnes (P. Acne) is involved in the development of acne, while the mechanisms of sebaceous lipogenesis and its control is unclear. Enterococcus faecalis FK-23 had shown to promote an anti-inflammatory action in several animal models. In the current study, we examined whether FK-23 modulate lipogenesis in sebocytes. FK-23 stimulated lipogenesis, while inhibited them in the presence of P. Acne. FK-23 acutely inhibited acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) phosphorylation lev… 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.
