Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study was to clarify the skin changes in overweight and obese Japanese males participated in the 1-year walking program. This study was approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of Kanazawa University (No.430). Subcutaneous thickness was assessed by using the ultrasound device with the 18-MHz frequency and dermal echogenicity was also assessed by ultrasound device with the 20-MHz frequency. Moreover, skin oxidative stress was assessed by measuring the mRNA expression level of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) in hair follicles. There were 18 males who successfully lost body weight and 11 of their BMI were equal or less 25. Dermal echogenicity increase was found in 38.8% (7/18) lose weight males’ abdomen images and in 61.1% (11/18) thigh images. HO-1 expression level decrease was found in 66.7% (6/9) lose weight males’ abdomen samples and in 50% (4/88) thigh samples.
