Probiotic fermentation augments the skin anti-photoaging properties of Agastache rugosa through up-regulating antioxidant components in UV-B-irradiated HaCaT keratinocytes
Abstract Background Agastache rugosa (Fisch.& C.A.Mey.) Kuntze (Korean mint) is used to treat diverse types of human disorders in traditional medicine.In recent years, its non-fermented leaf Guitars extract (ARE) has been shown to possess protective properties against ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation-induced photooxidative stress.The present work aim
