Sažetak
Acne is a common skin disorder characterized by follicular hyperkeratinization
and obstruction of the pilosebaceous follicles, androgen stimulated
sebum production, colonization of the follicles by Propionibacterium acne,
and inflammation. A large number of epidemiological studies have shown a low
incidence of acne in non-Western societies, suggesting that diet might be an
important factor in acne pathogenesis, particularly in mediating inflammation,
oxidative stress and androgen stimulation in the acne process. Consequently, it
has been hypothesized that diet might have a preventive or therapeutic effect
in this skin disorder. Since the majority of recent data have not been consistent,
the aim of this article is to present current knowledge and scientific assumptions
on the relationship between diet and acne.
