with potential antioxidant, protective, and wound healing activities. Upon topical
administration, boron-based topical gel may prevent oxidative stress and damage by
increasing the activity of glutathione. It may also promote wound healing by regulating
the levels of certain cytokines and enzymes, such as tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha),
cathepsin D, collagenase and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). In addition, it may
improve skin hydration which may help protect against skin irritation.;
