Microsatellite polymorphism in the Heme oxygenase-1 gene promoter is associated with dermal collagen density in Japanese obese male subjects.

Abstract excerpt

We previously reported elevated oxidative stress-related mechanical vulnerabilities of the skin as sparse distributions of hyperechoic areas. Although this helped establish a personalized skin care system to prevent skin disorders related to mechanical stress, obesity-related skin vulnerability involves individual differences. Here, we hypothesized that individual differences are caused by polymorphisms of GT...
