Effect of orally administered collagen hydrolysate on gene expression profiles in mouse skin: a DNA microarray analysis

In conclusion, our results suggest that altered gene expression at the early stages after collagen administration affects skin barrier function and mechanical properties. Long-term oral intake of collagen hydrolysate improves skin dysfunction by regulating genes related to production and maintenance of skin tissue.
