Nitrosomonas Eutropha on Nitrolipids in the Skin

Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Inflammation
Interventions
Drug: Nitrosomonas eutropha
Registration Number
NCT02938650
Lead Sponsor
University of California, Davis
Brief Summary

We are looking to see how the addition of nitrosomonas alters the presence of nitrolipids and inflammatory cytokines on the skin.

Detailed Description

We are looking to see how the nitrosomonas alters nitrolipids in the skin and the inflammatory cytokines of the skin.

We will be using healthy subjects over the course of 2 weeks.

Subjects will be using a neutral cleanser for one week prior to the study, skin microbiome,facial photography, lipid and cytokine measurements will be taken at baseline. Subjects will then start using nitrosomonas spray twice daily for one week.

There is a portion of the study where the subjects will have skin microbiome, facial photography, lipid measurements, blood pressure measurements and a bloow draw before and after using the nitrosomonas spray for one week.

Nitrosomonas eutropha sprayNitrosomonas eutrophaSubjects will receive nitrosmonas eutropha spray that they will apply twice a day.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Alteration in microbiome diversity and speciesone week

We will assess the alteration in the skin microbiome over a one week period by assessing the Shannon Diversity Index

Alteration in nitrolipids in the skinone week

we will assess the change in nitrolipid profile of sebum collections from the skin after application of the nitrosomonas spray.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Alteration in skin cytokinesone week

we will assess the change in skin cytokines with the use of a non-invasive skin collection.

Alteration in blood lipidsone week

we will assess the change in blood lipids by performing a blood draw

Blood pressure readingsone week

blood pressure readings will be performed throughout the study
