The present invention is directed to a method of treating, preventing, or reducing the risk of bone deterioration or osteoporosis in a peri- or post-menopausal female subject. The method involves selecting a peri- or post-menopausal female subject in need of treating, preventing, or reducing the risk of bone deterioration or osteoporosis and administering hepcidin to the selected subject under conditions effective to treat, prevent, or reduce the risk of bone deterioration or osteoporosis.
The present invention relates to a sunscreen cosmetic for application to a user's skin. The sunscreen cosmetic is provided with a mineral including zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, or a combination of both. The sunscreen cosmetic also includes a high buffering-capacity agent configured to react with an external acidic source coming in contact with the cosmetic and to inhibit release of zinc ions from the zinc oxide and/or to inhibit release of titanium ions from the titanium dioxide.
The present invention relates to a cosmetic for application to a user's skin. The cosmetic is provided with a colorant including iron oxides. The cosmetic also includes a high buffering-capacity agent configured to react with an external acidic source coming in contact with the cosmetic and to inhibit release of iron ions from the iron oxides.
Skincare Product And Method Of Preparation Thereof
The core active components of the present composition, termed as de-ironizing inducers (DII), has a reducing agent and a precipitating agent. Molar ratios of the reducing agent with the precipitating agent range from 1:3-6 and the core components in the skincare product range from 0.1% to 10% w/w. The pH value of the skincare product is between 6.6 and 7.4. The skin care products can safely and effectively remove iron in the skin, which has been shown to accelerate skin natural aging and photoaging. The core components can also be used in combination with conventional skincare product compounds to achieve better anti-aging effects.
Non-Hemolyzing Blood Filter And Methods For Filtering Blood Without Hemolysis
An article, system, and method is provided for the filtration of blood wherein the blood is removed, contacted with a filter substrate operatively associated with a filter structure, and the filtered blood is subsequently returned to a receiver. Methods for removing iron from the liquid fraction of blood and for determining whether a substrate is capable of selectively retaining 2,2′-dipyridyl (DP)-Fe complexes are also disclosed.

Skincare Product And Method Of Preparation Thereof
This invention discloses a novel class of skincare products to remove iron in the skin and its preparation method. The core active components, termed as de-ironizing inducers (DII), consist of a reducing agent and a precipitating agent. The reducing agent is selected from vitamin C, vitamin E, glutathione, vitamin A, vitamin D and their derivatives. The precipitating agent is chosen from calcium carbonate, pearl powder, magnesium carbonate, barium carbonate, calcium phosphate, magnesium phosphate, barium phosphate, calcium silicate, magnesium silicate, and barium silicate. Molar ratios of the reducing agent with the precipitating agent range from 1:3-6 and the core components in the skin care product range from 5% to 10% w/w. The PH value of the skincare product is between 6.6 and 7.4. The skin care products can safely and effectively remove iron in the skin, which has been shown to accelerate skin's natural aging and photoaging.
