Results from this study2

No result from this study comes from a test of the peptide.

Natural levels measured1

These results measure the body's own peptide. Nobody was given the peptide. They are not evidence about taking it. They are left out of key results, evidence counts and charts.

  1. 01AnimalEndogenous levelAnimal study (in vivo)Mechanism

    In mice with an LL‑37-induced rosacea-like phenotype, sleep deprivation increased expression of the body's own cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide.

    In plain wordsIn mice with rosacea-like skin, sleep deprivation raised the mice's own cathelicidin levels.

    Summary
    Furthermore, the LL-37-induced rosacea-like phenotype and sleep-deprivation mice models were applied, revealing that sleep deprivation aggravated the rosacea-like phenotype in mice, with higher expression of matrix metallopeptidase 9, Toll-like receptor 2, cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide and vasc…

    This result measures the body's own LL-37. Nobody was given the peptide. It is not evidence about taking it.

Studies that did not test the peptide alone1

In this study, LL-37 was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. These results are not evidence about taking LL-37.

  1. 02AnimalNot a test of LL-37 aloneAnimal study (in vivo)Efficacy outcome

    In mice challenged with LL‑37 to induce a rosacea-like phenotype, sleep deprivation aggravated the phenotype; LL‑37 was the challenge, not the treatment.

    In plain wordsIn mice with LL‑37-induced rosacea-like skin, sleep deprivation made the skin condition worse.
