July 2013 in “Circulation” Improving mitochondrial health may better treat atherosclerosis than antioxidants.
November 2024 in “International Journal of Cosmetic Science” The study investigates the potential of botanical extracts to improve scalp conditions by reducing oxidative stress, which affects hair and scalp health. Using both chemical and biological antioxidant mechanisms, 10 botanical extracts were tested for their ability to combat reactive oxygen species (ROS). The study employed ORAC testing, a Nrf-2 cell assay, and a 3D human keratinocyte model to evaluate antioxidant activity. A 4-week consumer study with 56 participants using a leave-on treatment containing a botanical extract showed a reduction in oxidized lipids on the scalp. The results indicate that incorporating botanicals with antioxidant properties into hair and scalp care products can enhance scalp health.

July 2013 in “Amino Acids” Elevated ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity in the epidermis was found to promote skin tumor development by recruiting hair follicle bulge stem cells, as demonstrated in ODC-ER transgenic mice. The study showed that inducing ODC activity with 4-hydroxytamoxifen (4OHT) was sufficient to recruit these stem cells in quiescent skin. Although increased ODC activity also led to higher reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, the use of the polyamine catabolic oxidase inhibitor MDL72527 revealed that ROS generation did not contribute to tumorigenesis. Instead, MDL72527 treatment resulted in a shorter tumor latency, increased tumor burden, and more carcinomas, indicating that the recruitment of bulge stem cells, rather than ROS, played a key role in tumor promotion.
