Glucocerebroside-Containing Milk Concentrated Powder Suppresses Oxidative Stress and Photoaging in the Skin of Hairless Mice.

ABSTRACT: This study investigated the protective effects of glucocerebroside-containing buttermilk concentrated powder (GCBM) on oxidative stress and photoaging in ultraviolet B (UVB)-irradiated hairless mice. We measured antioxidant enzyme activities, collagen synthesis-related pathways, and moisturizing-related factors in the dorsal skin of mice. We observed that dietary supplementation with GCBM increased antioxidant enzyme activity and decreased pro-inflammatory cytokine expression in the UVB-irradiated dorsal skin. Furthermore, dietary supplementation with GCBM inhibited wrinkle formation by suppressing the JNK/c-FOS/c-Jun/MMP pathway and stimulating the TGF-βRI/Smad3/procollagen type I pathway. Dietary supplementation with GCBM also increased skin moisturization by stimulating hyaluronic acid
