- Abstract
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory-allergic skin disorder that causes pruritic and eczematous skin lesions. Effect of Codium fragile extract (CFE) on AD has not been reported yet. In this study, inhibitory effects of CFE against skin severity scores, skin lesions, AD characteristics, and histological features of BALB/c mice with AD caused by 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB) were investigated. Results indicated that AD effects of CFE reduced body, skin, ear, spleen, thymus, and lymph node weights. Histopathological changes in skin reactions on the back and ears showed that CFE inhibited thickening of the epidermis and ear. Moreover, CFE reduced epidermal swelling and ear thickness compared with the DNCB group. These results suggest that CFE might be effective in alleviating AD with potential as a promising candidate for therapeutic and cosmetic treatment of inflammatory dermatitis. CFE may be useful in alleviating AD and could be a potential treatment for inflammatory dermatitis.
