New Fat-based Anti-wrinkle Lotion Slows Down Aging of Skin, Study Shows ScienceDaily (Jun. 6, 2008) — Topical applications of a naturally occurring fat molecule have the potential to slow down skin aging, whether through natural causes or damage, researchers report. Through both the normal aging process and external factors like UV damage, smooth, young skin inevitably becomes coarse and wrinkled. The basis of this wrinkling is that time and damage both lower the production of new collagen while increasing the levels of enzymes called MMPs that chew up existing collagen. Covering up, slowing down, or even stopping the wrinkling process has become a big business, and as part of this research endeavor, Jin Ho Chung and colleagues tested seven naturally occurring lipids (greasy molecules that play many important biological roles) in their ability to reduce skin aging. In samples of skin cells, three of the lipids could prevent UV- radiation from both reducing collagen expression and increasing the levels of MMPs; they even increased collagen in undamaged skin cells. Of these three, the molecule phosphatidylserine (PS) seemed the most promising, so the researchers tested it on human skin. They applied a 2% PS solution to small areas of the buttock in both young and old volunteers; the young skin was subsequently given a dose of UV-radiation to simulate sun damage. In both natural and UV-induced aging, PS treatment prevented collagen reduction and an increase in MMPs when compared to no treatment. While larger and longer trials are needed to confirm any therapeutic benefits, these initial findings suggest topical PA application might be a simple and natural way to slow down the biological elements underlying wrinkling. ------------------------------------- http://www.naturalnews.com/016646.html "Phosphatidylserine from soy lecithin contains mainly polyunsatured fatty acids, while phosphatidylserine derived from bovine brain contains mainly saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids, as well as some docosahexaenoic acid." ------------------------------------- Journal of Lipid Research, Vol. 49, 1235-1245, June 2008 Copyright © 2008 by American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Phosphatidylserine prevents UV-induced decrease of type I procollagen and increase of MMP-1 in dermal fibroblasts and human skin in vivo Soyun Cho*,,,**, Hyeon Ho Kim*,,, Min Jung Lee*,,, Serah Lee*,,, Chang- Seo Park, Sang-June Nam, Jeong-Jun Han, Jin-Wook Kim and Jin Ho Chung1,*,, * Department of Dermatology, Seoul National University College of Medicine, Seoul, Korea Laboratory of Cutaneous Aging Research, Clinical Research Institute, Seoul National University Hospital, Seoul, Korea Institute of Dermatological Science, Seoul, Korea ** Boramae Hospital, Seoul National University, Seoul, Korea Department of Chemical and Biochemical Engineering, Dongguk University, Seoul, Korea Doosan Biotech Division, Gyeonggido, Korea This work was supported in part by Grant A040008 from the Korea Health 21 R & D Project, Ministry of Health and Welfare, Republic of Korea.

The preventive effect on ultraviolet (UV)-induced decrease of procollagen was demonstrated in phosphatidylserine (PS), lysophosphatidylserine (LPS), lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), N-acetyl phytosphingosine (NAPS), and tetraacetyl phytosphingosine (TAPS). Furthermore, PS, LPS, and LPA upregulated procollagen expression in unirradiated basal conditions. The inhibitory effect on UV-induced MMP-1 expression was seen in NAPS, TAPS, LPA, PS, lysophosphatidylglycerol, and LPS. PS was chosen as the most suitable candidate anti-aging chemical for the subsequent in vivo studies. We investigated the effects of PS on acute UV response and chronologic skin aging by topically applying it to young skin before UV irradiation and to aged human skin, respectively. Real-time PCR and Western blot revealed that in the young skin, PS treatment prevented UV-induced reduction in procollagen expression and inhibited UV- induced MMP-1 expression. PS also blocked UV-induced IL-6 and COX-2 gene expression in cultured fibroblasts dose-dependently. In the aged skin, PS caused increased procollagen transcription and procollagen immunostaining in the upper dermis, and a significant decrease in MMP-1 expression at both mRNA and protein levels. These results indicate that topical PS has anti-skin-aging properties and point to the potential use of PS as a therapeutic agent in the prevention and treatment of cutaneous aging.

These oils have been shown to reduce inflammation and pain without side effects. In multiple tests performed at universities studying CFAs, participants showed significant increases in mobility and decreases in pain and inflammation. These results are generally attributed to CFAs ability to reinforce and lubricate cell membranes. In fact CFAs show cumulative therapeutic affects over time. In a double blind study at the University of Connecticut, all of the osteoarthritic participants using CFAs showed clear improvement within the first 30 minutes following treatment. After 30 days of continued treatments, participants showed even greater cumulative effects in reduced pain, range of motion, stair climbing, and getting up and going forward from a chair. CFAs are one of the key components that allow Myo-Med users to return to active living. ------------------------------- These cetylated fatty acids are different from fish oil fatty acids.

When it looks like an oil, it's just lecithin mixed into an oil -- which may or may not be healthy, and certainly isn't what you're paying for. But I used to get it in a sort of powder (in large cardboard cans) consisting of tiny fluffy masses. It was very nice because it melted in my mouth and tasted great. But it didn't last long once the container was open. It absorbed moisture, I think, and it may have oxidized or something, and it gradually settled in the can and thickened. I miss it.

Possibly the lid of the can was not tight enough or the moisture penetrated the cardboard as it aged. An airtight glass jar - like salsa comes in - would keep the moisture initially but as the level goes down more air and moisture would enter. Small airtight jars would probably be best. On the other hand maybe it decomposed anyway, regardeless of the air and moisture. I have had those soy granules in plastic bags for a month or more with no noticeable change. > I used to imagine it improved my sex life, but hey, it's all in the > mind, right?

It was the latter that had an interesting message about the keeping qualities of the powder. It indicated that, for durability, the container to use was an amber (or presumably a darker color) glass bottle with a metal lid. Plastic was a no no. Try it again and who knows what it will do with yourlove life. ;-) > On Jun 7, 10:23 am, RF <R...@NoDen.con> wrote: How young does one have > to be for this to work?<< [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > Who loves ya. > Tom Thanks Tom.

Which means that a fatty acid + palmitic acid cannot yield an ester, as mentioned above. Forgot what you get when you combine two carboxyls, but it's not an ester.

Same as saturated fat. It is also resistant to "bonding with oxygen" which we normally call oxidation ... > These oils have been shown to reduce inflammation and pain without > side effects. Well I guess they block the AA metabolizing enzymes like COX-2 and 5- LOX. There is no need for this with Mead acid in the body but for most normal people the blunting of AA responses is helpful. Given their resistance to oxidation they seem like a much better alternative to the Omega-3 PUFAs. Remember my past post on the castrol oil, it seemed doing the same ...

I understand that the soy granules are derived from the beans by some process using petroleum products. I'd prefer it from eggs but I'd want it from organic free range eggs. The pesticides, herbicides etc might be worse than traces of the petroleum product. It seems that we very often have to walk fine lines nowadays. I just looked through SR-20 for egg yolks but they don't identify any lecithin. There's loads of fatty acids listed though. |
