Topical Applications of a Novel Emollient Inhibit Inflammation in Murine Models of Acute Contact Dermatitis

Figure 3

Topical emollient decreases expression levels of mRNA for proinflammatory cytokines: (a, b) display expression levels of mRNA for proinflammatory cytokines in allergic and irritant contact dermatitis model, respectively. Data are expressed as folds of normal controls, setting normal controls as 1. Significances are indicated in the figures. for all in irritant contact dermatitis model. In allergic contact dermatitis model, for normal controls and for all others.

(a) Allergic contact dermatitis

(b) Irritant contact dermatitis
