A Comparative Study on the Biological Activities of a Synthetic Peptide (Acetyl Hexapeptide-3) and a Natural Bee Product (Apilarnil): Antioxidant Capacity, Enzyme Inhibitory Activities, and Cytotoxicity
Skin aging involves the progressive dysregulation of extracellular matrix-degrading enzymes and oxidative stress pathways, driving demand for biologically characterized cosmeceutical ingredients. This study provides the first direct comparative evaluation of apilarnil , a lyophilized drone larvae-derived bee product (A...
