Root Admin Guide Posted January 22, 2010 Root Admin Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 A new PubMed article abstract by Dr. Gallo concludes: "These findings show that the expression and activity of KLK are under fine control and can be distinctly influenced by variables such as differentiation, calcium, vitamin D, and RA. Thus, these variables may further control the functions of antimicrobial peptides in the skin." Does this mean that rosaceans should increase their intake of calcium, vitamin D and RA?

Root Admin Guide Posted January 23, 2010 Author Root Admin Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 The following replies to this thread were sent to me by email: From: Robert Brodell, M.D. Subject: Re: Calcium, Vitamin D(3), And Retinoic Acid Date: January 23, 2010 2:16:31 AM HST To: Barrows Brady Basic science research is important because it often points up approaches to disease treatment that would not be otherwise apparent. HOWEVER, acne rosacea is a complicated process and I would not recommend any changes to the treatment of patients without clinical evidence of efficacy.
