Skin elasticity

Transfersomes are vesicles prepared from lipids and an edge activator that might be a single-chain lipid or surfactant. The edge activator renders the vesicles elastic. As a result of the hydration force in the skin, elastic vesicles can squeeze through SC lipid lamellar regions [47], Transfersomes were much more effective than conventional liposomes when applied nonocclusively with respect to mass flow of lipid across the skin. After 8 h of transfersome application... 

The main issue is to attempt to provide a better interpretation of the results in terms of skin parameters. The friction coefficient depends on several parameters microrelief, vertical pressure, skin elastic properties, hydration of the surface, presence (or not) of a greasy film at the interface between skin and the measuring pad, nature of the pad. Several publications describe the influence of all these parameters on the measurement of friction coefficients but results are only qualitative because of the complexity of the phenomenon. 

Elastin is typically considered as an amorphous protein consisting of random chain sequences connected by a helical regions. The elastin content varies in elastic fibers such as those found in skin. Elastic fibers are termed oxytalan fibers in the upper dermal layer of skin and they are termed elaunin fibers in the deeper dermis where their elastin content is higher. In vessel wall elastic fibers have recently been differentiated based on histological staining patterns suggesting that differences in mechanical properties of different vessel walls may in part be due to differences in elastin... 

Skin elasticity decreases and there may be an increase in body hair. In many women there is a significant reduction in bone density, caused by a declining oestrogen concentration, which may lead to osteoporosis and an increased incidence of bone fractures in later life.

No evidence for formaldehyde-induced effects on the skin has been reported in intermediate-duration inhalation studies with rats, hamsters. Rhesus monkeys, or mice (Appelman et al. 1988 Maronpot et al. 1986 Monticello et al. 1989 Woutersen et al. 1987), or in chronic inhalation studies with rats or mice (Kamata et al. 1997 Kems et al. 1983b), except that the highest concentration used in these studies (40 ppm used in the 13-week mouse study by Maronpot et al. 1986) produced severe clinical signs of toxicity in mice including mouth breathing, ataxia, and loss of skin elasticity . 

The conversion of procollagen to collagen by removal of propeptides seems to be essential for the formation of collagen fibrils. This supposition is supported by studies of two heritable diseases, one found in humans and the other in cattle, sheep, and cats. In both, the defect lies in the removal of N-terminal propeptides and results in impaired fibril formation. The human disorder is the type VII variant of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (Table 25-5). Affected individuals exhibit marked joint hypermobility, dislocation of joints, short stature, and minor changes in skin elasticity. Their skin fibroblasts show normal... 

The practice of exfoliation to remove dead cells and oils from skin was well known in ancient cultures. Crushed nut seeds such as walnut were commonly used to provide abrasion as well as nutritional benefits. It is believed that removal of dead cells leads to improved skin elasticity and firmness by regeneration of epidermal tissues thus making the skin look smoother, supple, healthier, and younger. 

A youthful state of skin is generally measured by its elasticity and tautness. Collagen and elastin in the dermis contribute to these properties. However, with age and adverse environmental effects such as UV radiation, lack of moisture, etc., the elasticity and tautness of skin decreases and the skin wrinkles and shows sign of aging. Exposure to UV radiation and aging leads to a decrease in hyaluronic acid and polysaccharides and excessive production of an enzyme called elastase. This enzyme destroys elastin and leads to loss of skin elasticity.

The advantages of oil fortified with retinyl palmitate have historically been utilized by food aid programs, where a daily intake of 16 g of oil provided approximately 50 % of the recommended daily intake (RDI) of an adult male [19]. Surman et al. [20] reports that retinyl palmitate it also can be associated with toxicities at high doses. The preeise human dose required to ensure efficacy without toxicity remains a point of controversy. Also, retinyl palmitate (RP) is widely used in pharmaceutical and cosmetics products to improve the skin elasticity [21, 22],... 

In hypernatremia, fluid moves out of the cells in an attempt to dilute the high concentration of sodium in the extracellular fluid. This causes cell dehydration with shrinkage, resulting in dry tissues, particularly evident in mucous membranes, loss of skin elasticity (turgor), and thirst (stimulated by ADH release). 

Elastin shows a distinct increase with age (Blu-MENTHAL et al. 1964). Amino acid composition of elastins isolated from human pidmonary connective tissue by alkahne digestion demonstrated an increase in glutamic and aspartic acids (Fitzpatrick and Hospelhorn 1962). Within skin elastic fibres, starting of the fourth decade of hfe, electron dense materials accumidate in an age-dependent manner (Pasquali-Ronchetti and Baccarani-CoNTRi 1997). In very old subjects, these materials seem to have disappeared, leaving behind holes, which give to the fibre a cribriform appearance.
