- Resolvin D5 (RvD5) is a lipid mediator known for its anti-inflammatory properties and its ability to increase reactive oxygen species (ROS) during bacterial infections, which can be harmful.
- In a study involving female hairless mice, RvD5 was administered before UVB exposure, leading to reduced skin swelling and oxidative stress by enhancing antioxidants and decreasing harmful oxidants.
- The treatment also lowered the levels of inflammatory markers and cell counts, which ultimately resulted in less collagen degradation and skin damage from UVB exposure, suggesting that RvD5 could be a potential treatment for UVB-related skin issues.
