Oral ingestion of HC increases the levels of collagen-derived peptides in the blood torrent and improves the skin properties such as elasticity, skin moisture, and transepidermal water loss
Additionally, contrasting with clinical results, homocysteine would inhibit both von Willebrand factor and thrombomodulin expression in cultured endothelial cells by affecting the redox-thiol status-regulated transport of newly synthesized glycoproteins in the endoplasmic reticulum
This dual action promotes the remodeling of scar tissue into normal tissue, rather than merely increasing collagen production
