Question 1

in vitro testing shows ______, which help

Answer 1

increased production of collagen, fibronectin, and SPARC proteins

–>rebuild skin structure

Question 2

function of the active

Answer 2

benefit regeneration of tissues and correct assembly of new collagen fibers
improves mobility of fibroblasts

Question 3

“mechanism of action”

Answer 3

phytonutrients stimulate the skin’s ability to regenerate

Question 4

Clinical studies show _________, as confirmed by _____

Answer 4

improvement of skin smoothness

evaluation of skin texture in stretch marks

Question 5

extract has been tested at ___%

Answer 5

2%

Question 6

In the picture, Improved skin texture of stretch mark after ___________

Answer 6

2 months of application of a cream containing Akosky Apium at 2%

Question 7

what does SPARC protein stand for

Answer 7

Secreted Protein Acidic and Rich in Cysteine

Question 8

what are SPARC proteins and where are they expressed

Answer 8

matricellular glycoprotein (non-structural, in ECM)
expressed in tissues that undergo rapid turnover/sites of injury

Question 9

what do SPARC proteins do

Answer 9

regulate cell interaction with extracellular matrix during development and in response to injury

• bind to resident proteins of ECM
• modulate growth factor efficacy
• affect expression of matrix metalloproteinases
• alter cell shape as a counteradhesive factor

Question 10

what is fibronectin

Answer 10

glycoprotein in intercellular matrix

acts as a receptor

Question 11

what does fibronectin do

Answer 11

receptor protein with domains for integrin, itself, and matrix proteins such as collagen and heparan sulfate.

plays a role in proper collagen assembly
