Description

Glycolic acid is a chemical compound that is used in the treatment of certain skin conditions, such as acne. It is also used as an active ingredient in some facial peels. Glycolic acid has been shown to have beneficial effects on autoimmune diseases by inhibiting the production of glycoproteins and enzymes that are involved in inflammation. Glycolic acid has been studied extensively as a potential treatment for geriatric patients with depression-related dementia or Alzheimer's disease. This drug can be applied topically to the skin, or taken orally as a medication. The mechanism of action is not well understood, but it may involve inhibition of dapagliflozin, which enhances the activity of glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK3β) and prevents phosphorylation and activation of glycogen synthase (GS).
Glycolic acid has been shown to inhibit mitochondrial membrane potential and increase cellular physiology by increasing ATP synthesis. It can also be applied topically to
