LATENT INFLAMMATION AND OXIDATIVE STRESS IN THE SKIN OF METABOLIC SYNDROME MICE　

4th Congress of the World Union of Wound Healing Societies

The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that UV-evoked inflammation of the skin in MS mice is caused by oxidative stress. As a result, Hmox-1 and Cox2 gene expression levels were significantly increased in the TSOD skin than in the TSNO skin. Their expressions were further increased by UV irradiation in the TSOD skin.
