Previously we showed a protective role of endogenous glutathione (GSH) in ultraviolet B (UVB) injury. Moderate UVB exposure to hairless mice receiving oral treatment with buthionine sulfoximine (BSO), an inhibitor of GSH synthesis, resulted in a greater number of SBCs in the epidermis. The evidence
Cutaneous protection against ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation damage by endogenous glutathione (GSH) was evaluated in the epidermis of the hairless mouse by measuring the influence of GSH depletion on sunburn cell (SBC) formation. Cellular GSH exerts antioxidant effects and recent studies have
BACKGROUND
Exposure to sunlight may cause sunburn, skin cancer or phototoxic reactions to certain drugs such as Hypericum extract. All these are ultraviolet B (UVB)-mediated reactions which may be modulated by individual genetic susceptibility. UVB exposure results in oxidative stress. Many products
Solar radiation can lead to changes affecting DNA metabolism resulting in loss of DNA integrity. Skin specimens obtained from melanoma patients treated at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center were used to study patterns of DNA fragmentation using the comet assay and levels of deletions in
OBJECTIVE
Although a majority of psoriasis patients respond to treatment with narrow band ultraviolet B radiation (TL-01) phototherapy, it is currently not possible to predict erythemal sensitivity, or to identify treatment responders. A variety of antioxidant enzymes, including the polymorphic
Glutathione S-transferase (GST) activity is believed to play a critical role in cellular protection against toxic chemicals. We evaluated the role of GSTM1 polymorphisms in modifying the association between indoor pesticide exposure and cutaneous melanoma. Peripheral blood samples were collected
Several studies have demonstrated the skin protection by sunscreens considering the aspects skin penetration, photostability, and protection against erythema and sunburn. However, little is known about the effect of topically applied sunscreen formulations on the antioxidant defense,
The xanthophyll cycle, flavonoid metabolism, the antioxidant system and the production of active oxygen species were analyzed in the peel of 'Fuji' apples re-exposed to sunlight after extended periods of fruit bagging treatment, resulting in different levels of photooxidative sunburn. After
OBJECTIVE
Calendula officinalis flowers have long been employed time in folk therapy, and more than 35 properties have been attributed to decoctions and tinctures from the flowers. The main uses are as remedies for burns (including sunburns), bruises and cutaneous and internal inflammatory diseases
Oxidations in grape berries are gaining major interest as they affect grape characteristics and quality. Considering berries, Reactive Oxygen Species are involved in the responses to both ripening process and stresses, including photooxidative sunburn. Redox metabolism involves a multitude of
BACKGROUND
The aim of this study was to assess the frequency of GSTM1 and GSTT1 null genotype in melanoma patients and controls from Sicily and Calabria, two regions of Southern Italy never investigated on this issue before, that present a peculiar gene pool because of their geographical and
Isocitrate dehydrogenase 2 (IDH2) is a key enzyme that maintains the balance of mitochondrial redox status by generating NADPH as a reducing factor, which is used to reduce oxidized antioxidant proteins and oxidized glutathione. Therefore, the role of IDH2 is crucial in organs that are easily
We have shown previously that injection of cadmium chloride (Cd(2+)) depletes the number of ultraviolet B (UVB)-induced sunburn cells (SBC) in the mouse skin in vivo and that Cd(2+) treatment enhances UVB resistance in cultured keratinocytes in vitro, indicating the photoprotective role of
Among the preventative and protective strategies against the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation to the skin is the application of antioxidants. Ascorbic acid has been shown to protect against sunburn, delay the onset of skin tumors, and reduce ultraviolet-B-radiation-induced skin wrinkling. In
Sunscreen chemicals, such as benzophenones (BPs), are common environmental contaminants that are posing a growing health concern due to their increasing presence in water, fish, and human systems. Benzoresorcinol (BP1), oxybenzone (BP3), and dioxybenzone (BP8) are the most commonly used BPs for
