Published research describes the following mechanisms for MC1R agonists like afamelanotide: NF-kappaB suppression reduced transcription of pro-inflammatory genes Cytokine modulation decreased TNF-alpha, IL-1beta, and IL-6 production Nitric oxide regulation normalization of NO pathway signaling Adhesion molecule downregulation reduced inflammatory cell migration IL-10 upregulation increased anti-inflammatory cytokine output These effects have been demonstrated in vitro and in animal models of acute, chronic, and systemic inflammation (Catania et al., 2004)
You must take glutathione regularly, protect your skin from the sun, eat healthy food, stay hydrated, manage stress, avoid smoking and drinking too much alcohol, and try other skincare treatments
