Abstract:Ultraviolet (UV) radiation induces skin dryness, which largely depends upon disruption of epidermal barrier. As searching dietary and plant sources of protecting from skin dryness, hairless mice were fed diets of either 0.5% or 1.0% red ginseng extract (groups H0.5 and H1.0) for 5 wks in parallel with UV radiation. As controls, two groups were fed a control diet with (group C) or without UV radiation (group UV) for 5 wks. With no differences in food intake and weight gains among all groups, epidermal levels of… Show more
