Opuntiol Prevents Photoaging of Mouse Skin via Blocking Inflammatory Responses and Collagen Degradation

Figure 1

Effect of opuntiol (50 mg/kg b.wt.) on UVA radiation-mediated clinical macroscopic skin lesions. The severity of the UVA (100 J/cm²) irradiation-mediated skin damages was tested four times a week. The skin disorders like dryness, erythema, hemorrhage, skin redness, and erosion were scored as 0 (none), 1 (mild), 2 (moderate), and 3 (severe). The data represent (), and values not sharing a common marking ( and #) differ significantly at (DMRT).
