Results showed that UV-damaged HFFs treated with GLGPGVG showed higher superoxide dismutases (SOD) activity and cell viability compared with PY treatment. Furthermore, GLGPGVG even reversed UV-induced increase in reactive oxygen species, MMP-12 (elastase), elastin mRNA and intercellular Ca²⁺ levels, and decrease in elastin content. Intriguingly, in vitro digestion products from GLGPGVG retained approximately 60% of elastase inhibitory activity. Furthermore, a portion of GLGPGVG was observed to pass through the Caco-2 monolayer intact.

The results showed C3G alleviated PM10-induced lung inflammation by reducing matrix metalloproteinases production at both gene and protein levels as well as pro-inflammatory cytokine levels.
