Abstract

In this study, the effects of a mixture consisting of vitamin E, vitamin C, pycnogenol and evening primrose oil (mixture LGNC-5) on ultraviolet light (UV) induced pigmentation and wrinkle reductions of normal healthy volunteers were studied. In a double-blind placebo-controlled study, each of 54 subjects took daily either 4 capsules of the mixture LGNC-5 (Group ABC; 282.5 mg/capsule) or placebo (Group Ganada). We irradiated 2.5 MED UV on the upper arms and measured the whitening effect by colorimeter-based L value. The level of wrinkle reduction was determined by image analysis using skin replica around the crow' feet, and the level of serum vitamin E was determined at baseline and 12 weeks. After 12-week oral administration, the treated group showed a significant reduction in skin pigmentation and wrinkles compared with the placebo group (p = 0.011 and p = 0.000005, respectively). Also, the level of serum vitamin E was significantly increased in the treated group after 12-week oral adminstration of the mixture compared with that in the placebo group (p = 0.0001). In conclusion, 12-week oral administration of LGNC-5 as a dietary supplement could be effective to reduce both UV induced pigmentation and skin wrinkle without side effects.

총 108명의 피시험 자원자들을 대상으로 각각 54명씩 두 군으로 무작위 배정한 후 12주 동안 시험제제를 섭취시키고 피부 색조도와 주름 정도, 혈청 내 $\alpha$-tocopherol의 변화를 이중맹검법으로 평가한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1) 12주 동안의 시험제제 섭취 성실성 (순응도)에 대한 익명의 자가응답조사 결과, 응답에 응한 피시험 자원자 45명 중 31명이 90$\sim$100%, 14명이 70$\sim$80%의 비율로 시험 제제를 섭취하였다고 응답하여, 순응도는 만족할 만한 수준이었다. 2) 대조군 (가나다 군)은 남자 22명, 여자 32명으로서 평균 연령 22.8 $\pm$ 3.0세였으며, 시험군 (ABC 군)은 남자 25명, 여자 29명으로서 평균 연령 23.0 $\pm$ 3.4세로 군간 차이가 없었다. 그 외 시험시작전 군별 최소홍반량, 자외선 조사전후의 피부 색조도는 모두 동일한 수준으로 평가되었다. 3) 상완부 내측 피부에 자외선으로 유도한 인공 색소 침착 후 미백 효과를 측정한 색차계 L값의 변화도 ($\Delta$L값)는 12주째에 시험군 ($\Delta$L = 3.817 $\pm$ 2.228)에서 대조군 ($\Delta$L = 2.731 $\pm$ 2.138)보다 유의하게 높았다 (p = 0.011). 4) 안면부 안와 주위 주름을 대상으로 모사판을 획득하고 영상 분석한 음영 비율을 주름 완화 유효 백분율로 비교한 결과, 8주, 12주에 시험군에서 대조군보다 유의한 증가를 나타내었다 (p = 0.0217, p = 5.317E-06). 5) 혈청 내 유효성분 vitamin E ($\alpha$-tocopherol) 농도의 정량적 변동을 시험제제 섭취 전과 섭취 12 후에 측정한 결과, 시험군에서 대조군보다 유의하게 증가하였다 (p = 0.0001). 6) 시험제제를 12주간 섭취한 후 측정한 결과들을 종합하여 볼 때 ABC 군이 가나다 군에 비해 피부의 미백 및 주름 완화 효과가 유의하게 높은 것을 알 수 있었는데, ABC군이 LGNC-5를 유효 성분으로 함유한 시험제제를 섭취한 군이었다.
