The therapeutic effect of phycocyanin on skin damage in mice
To investigate the therapeutic effect of C-phycocyanin(CPC)on skin injuries in mice,ICR mice were divided into five groups:normal control group(Con),model group(Mod),blank dressing group(BD),CPC-treated dressing group(CPC TDD),and CPC-treated dressing plus intraperitoneal injection of CPC group(CPC+ip.)for conducting mouse scalding experiments.The re-sults showed that the wound healing time was the shortest in the CPC TDD and CPC+ip.groups,which could reduce the content of malondialdehyde(MDA)in serum,increase the content of superoxide dismutase(SOD),and decrease levels of inflammatory factors TNF-α and IL-6 in serum.Phycocyanin could promote skin injury healing by enhancing antioxidant capacity and reducing levels of in-flammatory factors.
