Abstract:
In order to study whether Jingtian compound extracted from herbs could delay the process of skin aging, the skin on the back of Guinea pigs (6 and 15 months old) were shaved topically and applied with and without 0.5% Jingtian compound for 30 days by self-control design. The possible alterations caused by Jingtian compound were observed by histological and biochemical techniques. Results showed that the number and the activity of fibroblast in dermis was increased prominently compared with the control. The activities of superoxide dismutase, glutathion peroxidase and the hydroxyproline level of acid soluble collagen in dermis were enhanced, and the malondialdehyde content was inhibited concomitantly. It is suggested that Jingtian compound might play a protective role on skin aging.

Role of Skin in Vitamin D Synthesis
The solar UV B rays (290-315 nm) are absorbed by the skin, and 7-dehydrocholesterol (provitamin D3) photolyzes it to previtamin D3, which undergoes a rapid transformation to vitamin D3(cholecalciferol).
