Malassezia species variably induced thymic stromal lymphopoietin, β-defensin 2, and LL-37.
1 context sentence(design, population, supporting numbers)
We compared the different activation patterns of inflammasomes and the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and antimicrobial peptides by three different Malassezia species-M. restricta, M. globosa and M. sympodialis-in human keratinocytes.
This result measures the body's own LL-37. Nobody was given the peptide. It is not evidence about taking it.
