Oral and topical administration of a geranyl acetophenone attenuates DNCB-induced atopic dermatitis-like skin lesions in BALB/c mice by Mohd Kasim, Vivi Nur Khalieda, Lee, Yu Zhao, Bakrin, Ikmal Hisyam, Hussain, Mohd Khairi, Israf, Daud Ahmad, Shaari, Khozirah, Tan, Ji Wei, Lee, Ming Tatt, Tham, Chau Ling

“…There was a minor discrepancy between the two routes of administration, with orally treated tHGA showing significant reductions in Scoring of Atopic Dermatitis (SCORAD), tissue eosinophil infiltration, serum IgE and skin IL-4 levels with treatment of 40 and 80 mg/kg tHGA, whereas topically applied tHGA showed significant reductions in all dosages. These findings suggest that tHGA exhibited therapeutic potential for AD as both oral and topical treatment ameliorates AD-like symptoms in the murine model. © The Author(s) 2024.…”
