Eicosapentaenoic acid inhibits UV-induced MMP-1 expression in human dermal fibroblasts

Ultraviolet (UV) irradiation regulates UV-responsive genes, including matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). Moreover, UV-induced MMPs cause connective tissue damage and the skin to become wrinkled and aged. Here, we investigated the effect of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), a dietary ω-3 fatty acid, on UV-...
