Abstract
A topical composition comprising LYCD together with known topically active useful medicinal agents such as anti-wrinkling, antibiotic, anticancer, antifungal, antiinflammatory such as anti-acne, antiviral, wound healing, and hair-growing agents. The LYCD works together with the other active agents to achieve a synergistic result more effective than can be obtained from the topical agents individually, and more effective than could be predicted from the mere addition of the known efficacies of the individual ingredients.
Claims2
A method for measuring the ability of a yeast extract to influence oxygen respiration, which comprises admixing said yeast extract with a measured number of A431 cells in a suitable medium, maintaining said admixture for a measured period of time, determining quantity of the oxygen consumed during said measured period of time, and comparing said quantity of the oxygen consumed in the presence of said yeast extract with the quantity of the oxygen consumed by the same number of A431 cells in the same medium in the absence of said yeast extract.
