    摘要: An autophagy activator, such as vitamin D, for use in a method of treating or preventing skin damage in a subject in need thereof is described, that includes administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of said activator. The method can include administering doses of the autophagy activator that are substantially higher than those typically used. Also disclosed are a method of monitoring the immunomodulatory effects of an autophagy activator on skin damage in a subject, and a method of correlating the dosage of oral administration of cholecalciferol in humans with the dosage of an intraperitoneal injection of 25(OH)D in mice.
