ULTRASONOGRAPHY REVEALS STRUCTURAL CHANGES ASSOCIATED WITH INCREASED OXIDATIVE STRESS IN DERMIS OF OBESE PATIENTS　　　

4th Congress of the World Union of Wound Healing Societies

We revealed that the association of dermal structural changes with increased oxidative stress and the tissue denaturation in subcutaneous fat. These findings suggested that the evaluation of oxidative stress and the structures of dermis and subcutaneous fat tissues at the early stage of obesity could contribute to identify high-risk individuals for skin problems. Furthermore, skin treatment with antioxidants can be recognized as promising skin care to prevent skin problems.
