Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1166765A2] A method for protecting human skin against environmental factors involves topical application of an agent (I) which induces elevated production of heat-shock proteins (HSP) in skin cells. Independent claims are included for: (i) the use of estrogens, phytoestrogens, isoflavones, procyanidolic oligomers, anthocyanins, aminoacids, oligopeptides, phytic acids or other calcium chelate formers (or plant extracts containing these components) for stimulating HSP production in cells; (ii) a method for determining the effects of environmental toxins on the human body, by allowing the toxins to act on skin cells and determining the increase in HSP's; and (iii) the use of HSP's as probes for determining the effects of environmental toxins on the human body.
