Nitrosomonas Eutropha on Nitrolipids in the Skin
- 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.

Group Intervention Description Nitrosomonas eutropha spray Nitrosomonas eutropha Subjects will receive nitrosmonas eutropha spray that they will apply twice a day.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Alteration in microbiome diversity and species one 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 skin one week we will assess the change in nitrolipid profile of sebum collections from the skin after application of the nitrosomonas spray.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Alteration in skin cytokines one week we will assess the change in skin cytokines with the use of a non-invasive skin collection.
Alteration in blood lipids one week we will assess the change in blood lipids by performing a blood draw
Blood pressure readings one week blood pressure readings will be performed throughout the study
