Article Title: Transfersome-Based Delivery of Optimized Black Tea Extract for the Prevention of UVB-Induced Skin Damage
doi: 10.3390/pharmaceutics17080952
Figure Lengend Snippet: Normal Human Dermal Fibroblasts (NHDF) were treated for 24 h two concentrations (10 and 100 μg/mL) of black tea extract in solution (BT) or in transfersomes (BTT), then irradiated with UVB (100 mJ/cm 2 ). Gene expression of MMP1 ( A ), IL6 ( B ), COX2 ( C ), and iNOS ( D ) was analysed by real time PCR normalized with the housekeeping gene β -actin. Data are expressed as the means ± SD of three independent experiments ( n = 3) and were analysed by one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s post-hoc test. **** p < 0.0001, *** p < 0.001, ** p < 0.01, * p < 0.05.
