Aging is closely associated with collagen degradation, impacting the structure and strength of the muscles, joints, bones, and skin. The continuous aging of the skin is a natural process that is influenced by extrinsic factors such as UV exposure, dietary patterns, smoking habits, and cosmetic supplements. Supplements that contain collagen can act as remedies that help restore vitality and youth to the skin, helping combat aging. Notably, collagen supplements enriched with essential amino acids such as proline and glycine, along with marine fish collagen, have become popular for their safety and effectiveness in mitigating the aging process. To compile the relevant literature on the anti-aging applications of marine collagen, a search and analysis of peer-reviewed papers was conducted using PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and Embase, covering publications from 1991 to 2024. From in vitro to in vivo experiments, the reviewed studies elucidate the anti-aging benefits of marine collagen, emphasizing its role in combating skin aging by minimizing oxidative stress, photodamage, and the appearance of wrinkles. Various bioactive marine peptides exhibit diverse anti-aging properties, including free radical scavenging, apoptosis inhibition, lifespan extension in various organisms, and protective effects in aging humans. Furthermore, the topical application of hyaluronic acid is discussed as a mechanism to increase collagen production and skin moisture, contributing to the anti-aging effects of collagen supplementation. The integration of bio-tissue engineering in marine collagen applications is also explored, highlighting its proven utility in skin healing and bone regeneration applications. However, limitations to the scope of its application exist. Thus, by delving into these nuanced considerations, this review contributes to a comprehensive understanding of the potential and challenges associated with marine collagen in the realm of anti-aging applications.
衰老是与胶原蛋白降解密切相关的,它会影响肌肉、关节、骨骼和皮肤的结构和强度。皮肤的持续老化是一个自然过程,受到外在因素的影响,如紫外线暴露、饮食模式、吸烟习惯和化妆品补充剂。含有胶原蛋白的补充剂可以作为一种治疗方法,帮助恢复皮肤的活力和青春,对抗衰老。值得注意的是,富含脯氨酸和甘氨酸等必需氨基酸的胶原蛋白补充剂以及海洋鱼类胶原蛋白,因其在减缓衰老过程中的安全性和有效性而受到欢迎。为了汇编关于海洋胶原蛋白在抗衰老应用方面的相关文献,我们使用 PubMed、Cochrane 图书馆、Web of Science 和 Embase 对同行评议论文进行了搜索和分析,涵盖了 1991 年至 2024 年的出版物。从体外到体内实验,综述研究阐明了海洋胶原蛋白的抗衰老益处,强调了其通过最小化氧化应激、光损伤和皱纹出现来对抗皮肤衰老的作用。各种生物活性海洋肽表现出多种抗衰老特性,包括自由基清除、细胞凋亡抑制、延长各种生物体的寿命以及对衰老人类的保护作用。此外,还讨论了透明质酸的局部应用,认为其是增加胶原蛋白产生和皮肤水分的一种机制,有助于胶原蛋白补充的抗衰老作用。还探讨了生物组织工程在海洋胶原蛋白应用中的整合,突出了其在皮肤愈合和骨再生应用中的经证实的实用性。然而,其应用范围存在局限性。因此,通过深入探讨这些细微的考虑因素,本综述有助于全面了解海洋胶原蛋白在抗衰老应用中的潜力和挑战。
