Our aim was to investigate the oxidative and inflammatory effects of this cream on vitiligo patients consuming MEBHQ.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>A case\u2013control study was conducted with three groups of 30 people from the control group, vitiligo patients before and after treatment. The percentage of vitiligo spots was determined by a specialist doctor. The levels of biochemical factors, oxidative stress profile and inflammatory factors were measured by enzymatic, colorimetric and ELISA methods, respectively.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Vitiligo patients showed a high level of inflammation and oxidative stress compared to healthy people. Although after 3\u2009months of using MBEHQ cream, the percentage of skin spots in vitiligo patients increased from an average of 63%\u201391% and the skin color became almost uniform, but it still increased the level of oxidative stress and inflammation in these patients. Although the level of oxidative stress increased significantly in these patients, there was no significant increase in the level of malondialdehyde. The lack of significant differences in the levels of biochemical factors between healthy people and vitiligo patients before and after using the treatment shows the absence of side effects.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The use of MBEHQ increased the size of skin spots and uneven skin color in vitiligo patients. Although MBEHQ did not show side effects such as diabetes, liver and kidney diseases, it increased the levels of oxidative stress and inflammatory cytokines, which needs further study.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jocd.16544","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,24]],"date-time":"2024-09-24T05:34:42Z","timestamp":1727156082000},"page":"4085-4093","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["The Effect of Monobenzone Cream on Oxidative Stress and Its Relationship With Serum Levels of <scp>IL<\/scp>\u20101\u03b2 and <scp>IL<\/scp>\u201018 in Vitiligo Patients"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Ahmed","family":"Khalid\u2010Meften","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biochemistry, Faculty of Medicine Iran University of Medical Sciences  Tehran Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mahsa","family":"Liaghat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Laboratory Sciences, Faculty of Medical Sciences, Kazerun Branch Islamic Azad University  Kazerun Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mohammad","family":"Yazdanpour","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Molecular Genetics, Faculty of Biological Sciences Tarbiat Modares University  Tehran Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mohsen","family":"Nabi\u2010Afjadi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biochemistry, Faculty of Biological Sciences Tarbiat Modares University  Tehran Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Asieh","family":"Hosseini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Razi Drug Research Center Iran University of Medical Sciences  Tehran Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6823-8638","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Elham","family":"Bahreini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biochemistry, Faculty of Medicine Iran University of Medical Sciences  Tehran Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jaad.2010.11.061"},{"issue":"2","key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","first-page":"51","article-title":"400 Cases of Vitiligo.
