Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study aimed to assess the serum level of Leucine-rich alpha-2 glycoprotein 1 (LRG1) in Acne vulgaris (AV) individuals and evaluate the effect of probiotic therapy on these serum levels.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Acne vulgaris (AV) is a common inflammatory disorder of the pilosebaceous units, characterized by the presence of inflammatory, non-inflammatory, or a combination of both types of lesions.

Recent attention has turned toward biomarkers that reflect the inflammatory activity in acne and might act as indicators of disease severity, treatment response, or prognostic risk. One such candidate is Leucine-rich alpha-2 glycoprotein 1 (LRG1).

Probiotics are live microorganisms that, when administered in sufficient quantities, can modulate the composition of the gut microbiota, helping reduce microbial dysbiosis, regulate the immune response, and decrease inflammatory mediators, thereby reducing systemic inflammatory burden, which is called the gut-skin-axis relationship.
