Research Article: Controlled-Release Wedelia trilobata L. Flower Extract Loaded Fibroin Microparticles as Potential Anti-Aging Preparations for Cosmetic Trade Commercialization
Abstract:
Aging is a natural phenomenon resulting from the gradual decline of biological and physiological functions as people age.– The aging process is partly due to the accumulation of molecular damage in the cells. Aging can be caused by various factors, including internal factors such as inflammation, hormone deficiency, and physiological disorders, and external factors such as tobacco, alcohol, and unhealthy foods. Among them, one of the most important factors that accelerates aging process is cellular oxidative stress caused by the reactive oxygen species (ROS). Thus, to delay the aging progression and prolong the human life span, much effort has been made on the anti-aging compounds (ie, compounds that interfere and hinder the aging biological processes). However, synthetic and semi-synthetic anti-aging drugs, besides the desired therapeutic actions, possess numerous side effects affecting human health. Therefore, compounds from natural sources have gained increasing interest,, especially polyphenols due to their high antioxidant activities.
